Found these items today..pretty happy about most but a few I do not know what they are if anything. I'm really curious about the small piece that seems to have a hole drilled into it? Please let me know what you guys think!

Hi Johnathan, Nice pic/groupings.

I've found a few of the "drilled in the side" rocks like your top pic. Don't know what it is either. The bottom pic is what I call an Axe/Digger tool. I've found several like that. (Same cut marks as yours) The "right side" chip-out is on almost all of my finds, very distinctive to being a tool as well as the grooves possibly where the wood handle was attached.

Your pic with the 4 rocks together: The top 2 and bottom left of that pic I would say Mano..the right, brown one, not sure...looks too "soft" to be a grinding tool...maybe a type of "sanding tool"..?

I've found a few of the "drilled in the side" rocks like your top pic and can't say what its for..........In your "points groupings", the top left one looks like a broken drill. They all look nice.....

Thanks for sharing...Did you find them mostly together or did you pull them together for the pics?

I was told from a very very good source that a village was there, its surrounded by a good size swamp and river. A large hwy is near by and had to stop construction because they dug up 2 skeletons and tons of artifacts. I have never seen so many flake before in my life at this place. I seriously can t even walk in a straight line when I'm looking because I keep bending down picking up or seeing something to my left or right! It makes me crazy!

Hi...Surrounded by a What?..Oh, I see your next post now. Thats amazing! .All those from one hunt means you're in a Great Spot (Duh)...:) Take lots of 5 gallon buckets and a Wheelbarrow! Large ziplock bags for the smaller stuff and have fun washing everything when you get home...:)

Try a "Google Earth search" of that field...see if you can find any "Donut" or half circles of different vegetation...usually found near a stream/river bank...These "donut shapes" indicate where they would sleep/village...They are easier to see in a plowed field...You can check your whole area this way and quicken up your search targets.

Have fun...MinerGirl

Ok! Thanks for the advice!

Can you show a close up of the drill area on the small piece? Nearly all the 'drilled' pieces people present here are natural, but from the picture I'd say you at least have a shot at that being a drilled piece of soapstone (steatite). It's soft and should easily show drill marks in the drill area.

Thanks.
