[mogi]

Hi Friends - Heading north today to do a little Artifact Hunting, but wanted to share a few things before we head out. I also want to extend a Thank You to this site as it seems that myself and some of the friends i have made here will be joining together in a little rock hunting soon. Enjoy and keep on a hunting! Gods blessings on you! Mogi

Axe, yes that a pretty nice one. Celt, yes and once again a nice example. But I have never been one to believe in the Fire Starter/Paint Pots that are always shown on every site there is. If that was a Capstone for a Bow Drill it would be highly polished inside the divot and it looks very rough to me.

Where were these found?

That axe is sick.

Thank you sir.

Nice axes! But I have to agree with grimm on the fire starter or paint pot though. It's natural in my opinion since it shows no use wear.

Nice Axe!

Guy's simply go to Images of Authentic Native American Fire Starters and you will see plenty of fire starters and paint pots that look IDENTICAL TO MINE! You can take up your expert opinions with everyone on the entire internet and tell them they are all wrong.

I also agree with Grim and Quito. Nice ax and celt but pot/cap shows no signs of use from pictures posted so far.

Mogi, do you see the wear in the pic you just posted? Your example doesn't have any wear. Yours may have been a new one that hasn't been used, but you can see why they asked the questions.

They are the same piece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mrdigz]

To me The newer pics that you posted show more detail of the inside hole and also the symmetry of certain spots lead me to believe it is a paint pot.
With that being said, there are many examples of natural paint pots especially where I live that people think are made by NA. So I only take the pieces that everyone would agree is an artifact vs natural.
Where was it found?

Read this very carefully.........

NOT EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET IS TRUE!!

You mean these images? There may,and I use that word loosely, be a couple actual Capstones in those pictures. But 99% of what you see there are Omarolluks and are 100% naturally formed by erosion.

Firestarters?

Omars. Notice how the same rocks are in both pictures.

The second set of photos clearly shows polish in the bottom .

Not saying you're wrong, but you must be seeing something I don't or can't. It looks rough inside the divot to me.

Steve you don't see any difference between the surface and the bottom of the hole ? Not saying what it was used for or how it was formed . Not having it in hand it would be another internet guess at best .

Thanks Grim I was planning on turning Mogi on to the Omar's
some showing on the link are mine and some are are utilized Omar's .
We should have a permanent threat titled fire starter or just a rock with a natural cup.
i have nice examples of both and I'm sure you do to. I bet we'd start seeing lot less Omar's posted as fire starters.
