Hey guys I have a few Indian relics that I've found in Southwest, Va in a plowed field along a creek. just curious as to what they may be and approximate value?
Possible Game Ball?Broken...but maybe a pendant?War paint bowl?Bead maybe?
Yes, the first item certainly looks like an indian artifact that is called a "cone", I don't think anyone knows for sure what they were used for. They're usually found by surface hunters, but they have occasionally been found in burials placed over the eye sockets of the dead. Yours would be unusual with the hole drilled into base, as far as I know, they're usually flat or slightly cupped on the base.
The broken gray one with the hole looks like a broken banded slate gorget or perhaps pendant depending on its size. The little roundish thing in the next to last picture looks like a fossil to me, but I can't see it as good as I'd like to.
The gray rock with four holes looks like natural to me.
I can't see enough of the lest one to comment .
Here's a picture of a gorget in case your not familiar with them, and some pictures of a fossil that may be what your little rock is.
Hope I was some help.
The one with the hole in it looks like it could have been used to build a fire. Where they put the stick into to twist & hold in the palm of their hand. Just guessing
