I recently found this rock by the creek where I live. Southern middle Tennessee area. It's Aprox. 9.5" long and 9-9.5" wide. As you can see in the pictures, there looks to be areas where something was maybe etched in it. Like a map or some other drawing. Any clues to what it could be or what it could have been used for? Thanks.

Welcome aboard. Glad to have you with us. Unfortunately, what you have there is not an Arrowhead or even an artifact of any kind. It looks to be a large piece of naturally weathered Limestone.

Any idea what the first 3 arrowheads could be worth?

You do have 3 artifacts there but not the original post. Middle Tn has some nice points around duck and stones rivers. They are worth what someone will pay but they are not rare points but still nice artifacts so not a lot of value.

If you found them they are priceless...

If you want to sell them, they are basically worthless...

Nice stuff for sure, I'd keep them and hand them down. They are far more interesting than a $20 dollar bill.

Just my opinion of course.

The 3 items that are artifacts are nice field grade items. The 1 on the right is called a blunt scraper and the other are stemmed points. You would be doing great to get $35.
