I bought some.

These I bought today for not much. They were found locally in my area and I am going to use them for examples to what I find. I will enjoy them for a while and then probably sell them later. Got a nice drill and a triangular stone which might not be an artifact but it was sooooo smooth. Just in case I got it. Let me know if you see anything to what you find in your areas.

Rock, you got some nice ones. Personally, my favorite is the triangle. I can't say if it is an artifact or not, but I would definitely keep it. I have found two smooth triangles of the same lithic as yours, but no where near as perfect as yours. I would not be scared to propose the idea of it being a game piece or even an unfinished Celt. Just to get a few eyes and opinions on it. Cool!!

Nice assortment of artifacts Rock. The little triangle is most likely a fine game piece. Thanks for the pics.

Ihe triangle in the last picture is not an artifact. It is a stone used in a tumbler to deburr metal parts. A industurial shaker is filled with those and etches or deburrs metal objects.

I hope this doesn't start a "game triangle" debate.

Ya, it is tumbler media. Sorry Rock.

Hey, hey. My, my!!

Well I know some dont like the idea of buying and selling but if it was found on private property you can do this. I liked these cause I have found some just like them myself on private property that I am allowed to hunt. These were found 25 mile away from the field I go to. I find it very interesting how you can find the same tools and arrowheads that far away and them be the same thing. The white one in the pic I have found and I will now post the ones I have found so you can see the reason I bought these. Thanks, rock

If you find the same things why buy more?

Because they were found 25 miles away from my spot and I found it to be interesting. I think the drill is a Bolen type. Plus I can

 

[GatorBoy]

You're not even going to keep them.
Its none of my business I know.
Nevermind that I said anything. We are all free to buy and sell(for profit) when and what we want. I just think it proliferates the mess that has become of artifact hunting as a pure enjoyment.

 

[rock]

Clam down I might keep them. I thought it was a nice comparison to what I have been finding. I could put them in a frame to the side of what I have found and use it for a study and an example as to the history of the tribes. This is what I wanted them for anyway.

 

[GatorBoy]

You should keep them

 

[rock]

I think it would make for an interesting frame and a story to go with it.

Rock, by the looks of what you found today, you will have no need to purchase artifacts much longer. Nice hunt today!

They all look real close to my materials except the lighter coastal cherts. I do find some of them further down in Ala though. Nice snags. Enjoy what ever you decide to do with them.
