Really cool stuff from a friend

[hughmaster10]

I was helping a friend move yesterday.
And he told me how his grandpa collected silver coins and stored them all over the place. He even gave me a Morgan and Peace dollar for my birthday a couple years back.
I remember him mentioning also that his grandpa had some Indian artifacts.
Well yesterday as I was helping him move, he pulls out this shoebox, and it has some cool stuff in it.
Some big rocks and a small box. He opens up the small box and it has a bunch of Indian points.
Then he says, “Here, take this, it’s yours.” And hands me the whole shoebox.
I was floored lol
I told him I’ll move whatever you want me to move for you. And if you ask me to stand on my head, I’ll do it! Haha

Now I don’t know much about stones or points. So I’m just gonna post pics of everything and you guys can let me know what I got.

I had been wanting to hunt points for a long time, but never really knew where to go. Now I got a bunch lol

Second picture, second row, second item from the left. It looks on the reddish side of rust? Red churt or flint? The old fields along the Shenandoah are filled with tiny fragments of the stuff but I've never found a point. I know the natives here got media from all over the place because there are still quite a few black obsidian chips. But the rising water and the real estate crooks have all but done for the agriculture that plowed up a whole new crop year after year.

I believe his grandpa is from Alabama. The red one is one of my favorites out of all of them. It’s very pretty

Some nice artifacts in there would look good on a nice display case

That was a very nice gesture, and a really nice gift.

Can anyone say what the translucent mineral in pic 5 is. I've got a fat scraper that looks like it could have been flaked off of it.

I have been wondering the same thing. Very cool rainbow color reflecting in the right light. Would like to know what I have if anyone knows..

The fern fossil looks Pennsylvanian... if so, it’s 180-320 million years old... give or take a year or two. Nice gifts for sure.

Kindest regards,
