New Member Needs Help Identifying Creek Finds

[rock]

That first one's just a cool rock, in my opinion. Never go by how it fits in the hand, but what you would actually use it for. That second set, you got a couple of things there. I don't hunt creeks; I locate the village sites and hunt there. rock, who hunts creeks all the time and is on here can look at that second set of pics and tell you more than I could about them.

Thanks but not all the time and all the ones I do walk are on privately owned property with owners permission. There is still 1 I can hunt but they have Angus bulls on it so Im saving it on the back burner as Im sure you know why.

Louise22 The 1st one even though is a neat rock its a piece of natural Limestone which you find in most creeks. Limestone is one of the best foolers for shapes when you are out looking for something nice. Its comes in small to very large pieces but you will know its natural by the feel it should feel like a piece of sand paper when dry or wet. Indians did like it due to sometimes flint will grow on it inside and out but Ive never found a piece of it worked not saying it is impossible but yours looks natural to me. The others look worked except for a couple on the end pics. Believe it or not even a creek can chip an edge on a piece of flint if the flint is laying flat on the bottom and the current is rolling small cobbles over it. As the cobbles hit the flint it will chip an edge on the flint and make it looked worked but sometimes its a natural edge. But most of the others look worked. rock

I walked the creeks, streams and rivers of Missouri for over 20 years artifact hunting, I found hundreds like the one in your opening post, all natural erosion.

OK, thank you! I'll post here if anything interesting comes of it.

Welcome to TreasureNet and good luck on your next artifact hunt.

Thanks, Rock -- appreciate your time and insights!
