tool

First off let me start of by saying hey everyone! Over the years I have found a few arrowheads here and there not really hunting for them but just stumbling upon them, but here recently a buddy of mine really got me into hunting arrow heads and tools as a ADDICTIVE HOBBY and I must say I'm...

Let me preface this by saying I generally pick up fossils so I am not remotely knowledgeable on stone tools or artifacts... so I need better eyes and brains to help me. I picked up these stones in the same area on the shore of Lake Ontario in Lewiston NY. I only brought them home because they...

A few years ago, my father went turkey hunting and found this and gave it to me and I've always wanted to know what it is. He was in colorado springs, colorado. If you shine a light on it, you can see it go through on the edges. Its pretty sharp and slightly curved inwards on each side. Sorry...

No way?!? What's this, something other than pottery shards? Thats not to say pottery isn't interesting, but I prefer artifacts made from rocks. lol It's nothing special compared to what some of you guys dig up, but I'll take what I can get. Its a beautiful material and both sides have been...

FouND in carlisle ky along licking river Creek 5 miles from Blue licks state battlefield park

Looks like some kind of tool to me, but I am not sure. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!

What is it???Found these two iron pieces a few inches apart. when put together look like a tool. Found in 6inches of mud near a pond in Florida. Perhaps wood handles went over long iron tines? Something was either held or crushed between the inner points. Dont think anything extended past the...

Went camping over the weekend and had the most unfortunate weather… that is unless you’re an amateur paleontologist! As wind, rain and lighting smashed the top of the mountain I was on, it exposed hundreds of these sea shell fossils. An interesting reminder of the dynamic shift that God put...

I found this scraper in central Montana while fossil hunting on private land. It's from local rock and not very fancy. I've found more modern tools and this looks cruder. It was well used the edge is warn fairly smooth but has nice serrations.

This stone was found in the late 1950's on the ground at a fair in the Southern region of Kentucky. Has been kept my possession for at least 50 years now, and I'm curious to find out the purpose of this tool. Some details the pictures missed, a sharp point on the top end of the rock, a distinct...

A garage was being torn down in my area and all the contents was being thrown in a big dumpster. It looked mostly like broken wood and old rugs but I always see treasure when I see a dumpster so I couldn't resist. I asked the workers if I could dig around through the stuff and they said I could...

Found this metal detecting where a plantation was in 1800s and I have no clue what it is.

Hello everyone. Thought I would go ahead and introduce myself since this is my first post to the forum:thumbsup: This piece was found along the Scioto River here in Ohio. It measures approximately 2.5" long and 1/2" wide. It is made from some sort of stone material. There is hole located at 3/4...

Just came across this website and already know I'll be visiting frequently... Anyway, I found this a couple months ago in an old farming field near a river in NC, looks like it was made of concrete? Any idea what it could be? A weight? :icon_scratch: Any suggestions/advice is appreciated...

Found all these items within about 10 yards of each other. Any help identifying would be appreciated.

Okay,guys,I need a little help ID'ing this old pick if possible. I've been meaning to post this on here but just now got around to doing so. The pick,or whatever it is,measures about 10 1/4 inches. If this helps you guys out in any way of ID'ing it,it was found inches away from an old pocket...

Here are a couple of artifacts, both found in Franklin county Ohio. The one on the left fits my hand any way I can hold it, and was obviously manufactured. The one on the right could be a fossilized bone for what I know, but it was used as a hammer by someone at some point judging by the worn...

I found this in a local forest preserve in Illinois. Indians lived here for hundreds of years and artifacts have turned up from time to time. The object is clearly perfectly round-except where it is damaged. It is not solid stone-appears to be earth material. Perhaps clay or mud. It is also...

I dug this brass or copper hand tool at about six inches deep, in the yard of a 19th century home, but the area has been settled since colonial times. I can't figure out what the item might be, but one suggestion was that it was used to make fishing nets. I found it in the town of Cambridge...
