Interesting material found in KY

[lostlake88]

Looks like coral. The arrowhead is a Hopewell so I wonder if it was traded? I have personally never seen material like this in my area. Any ideas?

LL, can we see a pic off the whole piece? Did you find it? Any silver come out of the ground after I left?

The fossils visible on the basal edge would seem to point to coral.

Chuck,

I found the arrowhead in the pic with Pete probably 10 years ago. Those two silvers and the indian head were found earlier in the day by me. We didn't find anything but wheat pennies after you left. here is a pic of the barber I found a couple days ago. It could grade au-50!

Looks like some mid to southern Florida stuff..I would have to agree that this material was traded.
I have seen stuff found here in Florida that makes me believe that the locals here traded with the Aztec and or Inca cultures.
