I dont know what I have
Good day All,
I am new to the site, yesterday I saw this section and reminded me that I had some arrowheads and misc pcs. About 30 years ago my dad was having a pond dug on our property and there was 1 side of the pond where I would find the arrowheads and misc pieces. Unfortunately I did not take proper care of the collection and let my kids take them in sandwich baggies to show at school for projects. Some of the best pieces never made it back home. These were all found in 1 small area of Washington County Alabama. Some are arrow heads, broken pieces of pottery, petrified wood and 1 pc that appears to be some kind of tusk or tooth. I honestly dont know. Would appreciate some of you knowledgeable folks giving me your opinions on what I have. Would these be from Creek, Choctaw or what?

hello Big!! and welcome to Tnet--AIA forum from Tmodel!! on the central highland rim of east Tennessee. on the 3rd row up left side 3rd and 4th artifacts are you sure those 2 pisces are pottery or could they be sandstone, if sandstone they could be abraters for smoothing arrow shafts or other things. can not tell from photos.

Re: I dont know what I have
does your camera have a 'macro' setting (looks like a flower) to take close up photos. most digital cameras do. this will help to get in-focus pics.
Cheers
