Okay, here we go. Here are the best of what I found in one area. I am still getting hits so there is more to find. Because of the arrowheads, I assumed all the items sort of belong together, but I am not sure. The arrowheads look like stone but read metal. Not pictured but also found is a buffalo nickel (no date). I also did not take a photo of some of the smaller, misc. items. At first I thought most of the items were some kind of Indian inscribing tools, but I am not sure. I am on pins and needles with this stuff. Especially strange is the horseshoe looking thing, which looks black where it is not rusted, with some kind of lines inscribed in it. The star or sun thing has a silver color peeking through. At first I thought it may be a badge, but bades are five pointed. I am stumped.
Not connected to the above find, but pictured seperately, is a very, very heavy piece. It looks like stone but is not. It is metal and the mass is incredibly dense. The closest thing I can find to it is a coin from the Jewish Revolt of 67AD or 70AD. Don't know if it is lead, silver or bronze. The pictured side is the worst (I don't have a camera). The inscriptions on it on the other side are much better.
As I said the other day, I am hopelessly addicted. In addition, I have found many stone looking objects that are metal, but don't attract a magnet. Most of them have what looks like silverr flakes on them. They are not melted aluminum. I have found some of those and they are different.
Any ideas on the "indian" stuff would be most appreciated. I am baffled.
