Is that a crack or scratch or some sort of decoration on the outside ? Look's like a good size piece.

Look's like you better start looking on the creek bank more often.

It's historic "white man" pottery / crockery.

It appears to be "thrown" pottery.
The lip on the one piece appears more like early American
crockery rather than Indian Pottery.
They can still be quite old.
Nice finds.

Looks like the creeks are my best choices right now...Farmers just are not plowing deep right now ...+ need some rain ..

That is Crockery and not Indian Pottery. Could be 100 years old or so though.

I agree it's crockery, but sometimes it never hurts to take a second look or get another opinion.

Made on a pottery wheel. Indian pottery was not made using a pottery spinning wheel

This is American Indian Pottery Shards from a Ft Ancient site. This site has been dated from 950 to 1650 AD. Study these and you can see the difference.
