Good Day for beginner.

This was a great day for the wife and me. Any and all help identifying these is appreciated. The very first artifact is a incredibly dense stone it was so heavy and smooth at first i thought it was a chuck of metal? I have in-situ of 3 of these but they are on my phone and i cant find my cord....

Thanks Peachy and Naturegirl.

I wonder if this one could be a Grand? It looks like it in the book.

I agree after a little more investigation it is definitely hematite.

You did great Tret.... I've decided not to venture anymore into guessing or commenting on what types of artifacts you or anyone has. Keep up the good work bud!

I have one in my book that is similar and it is a Hopewell also in the book the pink one resembles a Hemphill.

Your hard and dense stone piece is indeed Hematite and is either the beginnings of a Celt or one that is busted up a little.

The first point you posted has the look of a Graham Cave and is definitely an Archaic type Point.

The other whole point is a Hopewell type and could be a Snyders, a Grand, or a variant there of.

The other pieces look like a few Scrapers and some broken pieces.

Very nice haul!!!

Great day!!!!

I especially love the cloudy patina on your Graham Cave piece.

Keep it up!
