Help ID the item on the left. Found last night amongst whole points, broken points and flakes. It is intentionally shaped. In the photo shown the center is raised, the sides have been knapped to form a circle. The reverse is flat, with a rounded rim. Randolph Co. WV

Hi there! Today my guy and I were morel hunting on his property in SW Wisconsin, in the hills near Muscoda, when he stumbled upon an interesting rock that appears to be an artifact. When gripping this stone, right handed, it looks and feels like a man’s hand was imprinted into its grooves. We’re...

I’ve posted majority of these but my birdies need their own home lol Put this together for last week but ended up on a 18 mile float trip

Somebody tell me if I post to much I was years late to the party I got a lot to share haha

Looks like the bowl portion is shaped as a turtle what's your thought's

I found this today and it's got me confused. As someone who digs a lot of holes often, I've never come across something like this before. Found on the north shore of eastern Long Island. I have practiced flint knapping in my free time and it seems to have a lot of similar characteristics to some...

First post newbie so not too confident. Found in situ 2ft. Of water creek find. looks like a flake axe that has been worked but not sure. fits in the hand with nice grip carved in. Sharp as daylights! Doesn't look too hard ro replicate so any comments are welcome.

What is it? Found on friends property

They're from Northern California I assume because that's where the people I got them from went gold prospecting. They claimed they were genuine, and I did see some age on some of them, but I couldn't be sure. And if they are real, can anyone identify what type of arrowheads they are and maybe...

chungkey is a game and this is a game piece they used. Right?! Interesting. I found it in the sw Colorado mountains. A game local to Tennessee, Georgia Illinois and Missouri. Chahokia regions. I just am more sure than ever that I am near an old trading post? The saga continues. What do I do with...

Hey all! Just purchased these from a local auction and was hoping I could get some terminology on what these are and what they were used for. Still learning so any info is appreciated. Thanks!

New to this site wanted to share a find of mine a carved stone face! So what do u think???

All these items were found on private property in or around Conasauga river.

Went on a walk around my private woods and found this interesting rock (interesting to me at least). I was wondering if any of you had an opinion on it being used as a fire starter of sorts or if it’s just a dumb rock. Thank you all for any suggestions!

Was out metal detecting in West Virginia a short while back and after arm got a little tired and wanted a break from swinging my DFX i did what i always do headed for the nearest creek or run. I headed down the hill to the run and started looking. I found a rock i beleive is an effigy but...

Any info on type and age would be appreciated. Found in nova scotia.

I'm not completely positive what they are but the smaller one, to me, resembles a sleeping bear or hybernating bear. And the big one seems to have a couple of small stick men carved into it

All found in Watchung Reservation, a group of three long low ridges of volcanic origin. Have found basalt in the area. Square one is possibly that that was utilized as a tool? Any thoughts would be great! Thank you!

I know and am okay with the idea that these are just rocks weathered to look like tools, and have been told by 1-2 people that are not experts in the area but one was an expert in geology. Have a few but want to start with this one (brown) because I am convinced it was a tool with the pure...

I picked up this old piece of pine sapwood at a sale this past weekend. It has obvious signs of being carved on to shape it in several spots. The guy I got it from says these were used by Native Americans to make a hole in the soil to plant corn and other seeds. I was just wondering if anyone...

Found this in the woods on our land. Does this look like a sharpening stone?

Hey all, I’m new to this forum and was hoping that someone could help me identify this “artifact”. It was given to me recently and apparently it was found in a creek in Tennessee. I was told that it could potentially be a incomplete Mortar? The depression in the center definitely appears to be...

So Interesting story here. I was crawfishing for fun with some friends in Upstate New York. Woodstock Area. One of the techniques is to flip over rocks to find them. I flipped over a large stone slab on the side of the stream bed. Underneath was this weird orange and black thick clay like...

hello! so to start off I'm pretty sure this is not an arrowhead, but here's the backstory. I was metal detecting in my family's back fields which our family has owned for over 150 years. my great grandparents always found arrow heads in the fields after they would plow them up for crops, this...

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! :hello: I recently discovered something astonishing! In late March, I was measuring trees to identify their age. While I was measuring a 110 year old tulip popular tree, I looked down to see what I originally thought was a broken mason jar cap. I was so wrong! I...

Came across this "Collection of Artifacts" on Ebay and I am new to collecting native american artifacts but they look suspicious to me. Is it just me or does anyone else see it too?

I just started getting into collecting Native American Artifacts. Mostly points but I do collect other things. Thought I would share a photo of my newbie collection thus far. Made the Shadow boxes myself. Inlaid the shadow box lids with buffalo nickels and epoxied arrowheads (fake ones) to the...

Found these near Charlottesville on the Rivanna River yesterday.

I found this near Charlottesville VA yesterday. I believe it’s an obsidian flake off of a larger worked piece. Any thoughts?

I live in Connecticut and found these artifacts (or rocks). I live in an area frequented by the Tunxis tribe. I cleaned them off with water and a toothbrush. The last one is painted on one side and appears to have a person with a hunchback playing a flute to a bird? It’s only painted on one...

Found this at goodwill laying on the counter.

I was out searching a river today in Oklahoma looking for bottles, fossils, artifacts, etc and I came across this little thing. Does anyone know what it is? Feels like stone and has decent weight like stone. Not sure if it's native or if it's a sliver of a crinoid or something else. I've...

I haven't done hardly any metal detecting in the last 4 months or more due to what has turned into a nasty divorce and expensive custody battle, a flood and a tornado hitting house. Anyway last night we had some heavy storms come thru and I found a large broken point that surfaced in my front...
