info wanted on several finds

[wayne187]

I have property in SW Ohio and over the last few years have been searching for artifacts. I find it interesting that ancient people have lived on my property and have tried to learn as much as possible. The best find to date is the crude axe with red staining. I am posting pics and would like any feedback.

Welcome to treasurenet !
Have you tried trilobite hunting in the Miami River near Oxford?
When I went to school there, they were plentiful-and beautiful specimens.
Don...
PS: I have no clue about your pics.

Hot Spot for sure!
It would help to have something in the pictures to reference size. Also, you might get good feedback if you post one at a time, with photos from multiple angles and good lighting.
For instance, it’s hard to tell if that ax is unfinished or broken.
Can’t wait to see more. Looks like you have a very nice example of a Game Ball.

I believe it is a concretion but it was used as a hammerstone as you can see divots on both ends.

The axe is finished and broken, they got a lot of use out of it as it has big divots on the ends, the red stain is surface only.

Any possibility this is a flute, looks like one but can't be sure.
