It's hard to tell by looking at a picture, but I would guess it has received a lot of wear from erosion or fire. The interesting thing is if you blow up the center picture there almost appears to be a map or at least some symbols on it. Frank...

hello frank, thanks for your reply, I'm new to this game but I am saving up for a metal detector as we speak, I do alot of walking and fishing and like a magpie take shiny and interesting objects home, These bits of stone look like arrow heads or something, what do you think?

 

[Frankn]

The top one possibly, but it is hard to tell. May I suggest that you place the light directly over the object, or light from both sides to avoid shadows. Frank...

Here's a better picture, looks a little like an arrow head.

Hay, now that is a good picture. I never got into arrowheads, only have one. There are a couple of threads here where the guys are really good at rocks and arrowheads, even stone knives. You should post in one of those. Frank...

No, They are in the Western USA about 10 miles North East of Zion National Park. I travel a lot all over the USA. I live in Maryland which is on the East coast. Frank...

I like the sunset the best. That tree accents it just right. Here's my dog, Blue. Frank

Hi Frank, that's a very healthy looking dog, i'm hopefully going gold panning in a couple of weeks I,ll try and get a few pictures for you to see,
Whats Maryland like to live in, I live in an old shale mining village, just a small place but plenty countryside to walk the dogs.

Blue is a Statfordshire Terrior commonly called a red nose pit bull. I have gold panned, but now use a spiral wheel. I think maybe you get lazy when you get older. lol
I have been all over the USA and like various areas at certain times of the year, but Maryland Has the best average living conditions. I live on 11 acres of an old farm I use to work.
Have a good time panning! Frank...
