Broke down and bought most of a collection that became available this last month. All of the pieces came out of the same hole here in central Texas, Check the middle rock.... interesting to say the least. Enjoy !
Happy Hunting !

Those are some very nice pieces. What is the middle piece a scraper of some type it look's worked ? The color is great. Those are some killer pieces

Thanks Y'all. In answer to your question flint digger? I don't know Sure is a pretty smooth stone. I'm hearin guesses like moon rock, dinosaur poop, volcanic stone. I don't believe it is worked except to say it's worn smooth in the well colored areas. It was found deep in the hole. If anyone has any ideas ? I'd live to hear em. Thanks again. Kris

The reddish rock appears to be metallic, maybe hematite?

While the Points are all awesome pieces, the pieces that intrigue me are the two Deer Antlers and the Bone Whistle. Are the Deer Antler piece drilled out for hafting and does the Whistle blow?

 

[Krisrock]

The orange Stone in non magnetic. Hematite is possible, another good guess, thanks latrans. The Dear antler has been worked on considerably ( I shot the wrong side of it in the first photo). The other thing that looks like a antler in a Stalactite (probably from a cave) and the whistle we believe is an ornamental bead. See previous post for better close ups of bead. Here are better picts of antler and Stalactite, also a couple more nice points not included in the original set. Enjoy. Kris

It looks like chert/flint - it can get to be pretty colorful.
From quartzpage.de "Another famous site and a U.S. National Monument are the Alibates Flint Quarries in Texas, where colorful chert has been mined by American Indians from prehistoric times till about 1870."
Nice

Hey,Thanks Mile-ender. Flint is as close as anything it looks like to me too. I haven't seen any George town that bright before on anything worked, but I bet it would look cool. It was probably packed in by someone who planned on working it. I have some iron ore found in a mound close by that will pick up a magnet. It was dug up by my buddy next to me and he gave it to me and there is no doubt the natives brought it from over 500 miles away. It's not a meteorite. They used it we believe to mash brain into tough hide to make it soft. It is litterally one of the first American Irons. I'll put a pict of it in my next post.
Thanks Chong.

Steve71, In answer to your question: All of the above. I Dug today at my camp, but I Surface and creek walk every new chance I get. ( after rain or get new area )
