Hello,
I have never made a post or thread before so forgive me if I'm not doing it correctly. My name is Jeff, I have several artifacts I have collected. I discoved them walking my fields, they were unearthed by my plow family property fields near Tulsa, Oklahoma. I am going to try and upload photos, if I am successful I would sure appreciate any information I can get as to, time period, materials, use, value, crafting techniques etc.
Thank You,
Jeff Gudgel

Nice finds the big blade is really killer I’m sure somebody from your area will help with ID. Most folks probably wouldn’t have recognized the bones as artifacts so nice save. Have you found anything else?

To ID the large one you'd need a photo that shows the flaking on it clearly.


Here is my best attempt to capture clear images that show the flaking. This is the first time I have uploaded photos and I know nothing about acceptable file size or even how to change it so please let me know of any photo or posting issues I need to correct.

That's not an Eden. The flaking is not refined enough for an Eden. They are some of the most finely flaked artifacts in our country.

That is just some type of Stemmed Point and a Stone Square Stem type would be my best guess.

Stone Square Stem Projectile Point

Great looking pieces though. Really like the Bone Awls.

Yes I found this point

And I found this rock thing?

I also found this civil war button and bullets

I found about 10 or 15 buttons many small like the one pictured and 4 or 5 large gold buttons.

I found a large brass oval shaped US Calvery belt buckle and also 5 small brass oval US Calvary cartridge box badges.

I found several bullets like the ones pictured. I also found several bullets still in the cartridge that were misfired they have a firing pin dent in the bottom of the cartridge but they don't have any primers in them they are like rimfire only in the center. the large bullet in the picture had a large longer cartridge and the pointed bullet were in a shorter cartridge they were about the same caliber or at least diameter.

Also I found several spent cartridges all these were pressed together flat to verious degrees, these cartridges we're all in found together in the exact same spot, eerily these all have on top and bottom what appear to be obvious teeth impressions, I guess hence the term "bite the bullet"
