I found these on the hill where I find the Indian beads. They measure 3/4 inch long. And they appear to be broken off on the one end. IMG_0766.JPG
 

I am also wondering what these little seeds might be as they were found at the same place.IMG_0807.JPG
And the larger ones I found in Montana when we lived there.

I'm sorry, but I do not know what they are made of. My guess that they could be some part of an animal or bird. And I mean that is a total guess.

With the seam running the length, they look manmade... like made in a mould. I though ceramic because ot the color.

Could they be broken needles of some kind? I really don't know. Perhaps you could post them in the Native American Artifact forum on the is board. Plenty of experienced eyes there.

I believe I did post them there a few months ago and they referred me to the What Is It Dept. :icon_thumleft:
But the day is still early. I shall wait here to see what develops throughout the day.

What is the size? Tines to a bakelite or celluloid hair comb? Tines to a plastic fork?

More pics from some differnt angles please, front, back, sides, top etc.
Same goes for the small white "seeds" Which I guess are shell beads but I'm not sure could be teeth maybe?
Any fossils in your hunting area?

The small white items are not beads, but they could be teeth. They have that shiney feel to them.
The other 2 things are not bendable, but they are not hard like a rock either.
I'll get a few more pictures, but it may be a few days. My grandkids are coming for the weekend.
