A friend of mine showed me these and I told her I would have you guys look them over for opinions. She found them all in a field her Grandpa plowed when she was 17 and has tons more of the rock type stuff but this is what she brought to work today for me to see. She found them across the county from me and the area is loaded with artifacts and near the area of the Berry site. The mystery piece is some sort of metal and heavy for it's size. It's not very thick and the round edge is tapered to an edge. Do ya'll think the metal piece is native American? WP_20140312_001.jpg
The other side WP_20140312_002.jpg
The other rock type stuff WP_20140312_004.jpg I realize it's hard to tell point types without the base and two of these are leaf shaped.

Hi Kat! I was at work and had to get back to it and didn't see your post until now. I love the shard you posted and now gonna look at it more. ;-)

I'm thinking I need to move this post to the "what is it?" section.

Well the site I just looked at there is a artifact called a Spatula which is a type of a Celt. But the ones I looked at were stone. The one you posted has the same style bit on it.

Plow or plough point. Tip off a plow or plow tooth. Looks big for a harrow. Larson plows lets see what he thinks.

The leaf shaped points are likely Guilfords. No clue on the iron object

TnMountains said it was a farm tool from a tractor. But still an old one.

Yeo I bet that is what it is. They hand forged those things way back when.
