Worm tubes or...? Other IDs as well...

[Guest 1551]

Hey guys, these were found a while back on a buddy's property. Are they beads or just worm tubes?

What about this blue rock my brother found? Is it just an unfortunately shaped rock or is it keeper? (Found on same property)

Finally, the last two items. Is the first a drill bit and the second from a spear?

Thanks guys! I found these probably back in '03 when i was just a little dirt digger.

You may want to post these in the North American Indian artifacts forum here. I would be real surprised if all of the beads are natural and the last rock definitely looks like it was worked by man. That is my non-expert opinion, there are many real knowledgeable and friendly people in the North American Indian artifacts forum who could probably be good help.

Thank you for sharing and good luck!

Native made beads usually have a tapered hole. If they are thicker, the hole tapers in from both sides.
