This turned up in the front yard. not sure where it actually came from, the kids may have picked it up at an old indian camp sight. I will interrogate them when they get home. How can I tell if its natural or man made? It isnt shell. Im guessing its natural because the hole isnt perfectly round.
I asked my boys about it and they told me they did in fact, find it in a washout area @ an old indian camp sight, and that it was accidentally dropped in the front yard. So, Im happy to have found what I believe is my first bead!
Hard to really say from those two pics, but it does have the look of a Bead and since it came from a spot where artifacts are found it very well could be.
