native american

I was given this belt buckle and I flipped it over to look at the makers mark. It is stamped with a capitol “I” or possibly a capitol “H” It looks like it was stamped with a single line tool three times. There is a slight overhang off one side of the middle line. Sorry for the small...

I consulted 2 archeologists about this statue. They confirmed it was a bird stone. How can I find out where to sell it?

Hello. This is my first post to this forum. Nice to meet you all. I found a completely intact Lenape pottery vessel. I scouted an undeveloped wooded lot nearby and determined where the brook flowed before it was redirected to accomodate the housing development. After finding a dipped path that...

Hello, While I was out digging in creek banks for carnelian in central New Jersey, I dug up this carnelian that appears to have been worked. It looks like a thumb scraper to me, but I am mainly a mineral collector, so I'm far from an expert on artifacts. I know for a fact that there were Native...

The Arroyo Colorado flooded recently my husband and I found this while walking by the Arroyo Colorado. Is it a Native American effigy??

I got this in Blount County Tennessee (foothills of Great Smoky Mts.) from an antique dealer who buys alot out of local barns & estates. This item came in a box from a local barn here in East Tennessee. It looks like it could be something...very heavy and wonderful smooth chocolate surface...

One of the guys on this site said to post pics of this arrowhead over here. Found this recently in a box of wwii photos. I know nothing about arrowheads. As always, thanks for your help!

Hi there from Indiana. I'm pretty new to tnet but I feel like this is my jam! I wanted to share with you all a tree I have lived for years and I've always thought it was special. So special that I regularly hike up to it. So special that when we had the woods selectively treed for conservation I...

Hello, We were fortunate enough to find these 3 items along the Missouri River near St Louis MO. We are hoping someone can help us identify what type they are. Thank You!

Hello, We found 4 pieces of what look to be black pottery along the Missouri River, St. Louis, MO today. Three of the four pieces have similar lines on the back of them. One piece has white on the front, one has red on the front, the other two have nothing. Is anyone able to help us identify...

Found this on the beach. I have no idea if it looks and feels like it has been worked. Found in same area where other artifacts found in past.

Farmington River, Ct

Found these two items on the beach after a storm. Not sure what the big one is but I think it's Native American.

Hey everyone! I have some arrowheads I recently received from a friend. I don't know too much about them so I wanted to see if someone could help me out a little bit. Any guesses on type of stone? I know a bunch of them are chipped but I still wanted see if any were valuable. Thank you to...

Hello: This is my first, ever, post in this forum (I have looked at a number of posts but never done one myself). I need help! This water, or storage, vessel (I believe that's what it is because of its size: 17" tall by about 15" wide), belonged to a very wealthy Denver businessman who...

axe head? i thought I would take advantage of the amazing morning light angles and try to capture the texture. So here are the photos... what do you think? it was found just under the water by the Farmington River bank in Central Connecticut.

First off I would like to say hello! I'm new to the forum and I'm excited to start learning. My brother got me interested in hunting for artifacts after he found about 7 nice points while at college over the last several months. Listening to him tell me about their history and what they're...

Found a few things while walking on my friends property. The area has a shell midden nearby and is not far from the beach. The rock/tool has one flat side with the other side being more rounded. It also has impact marks especially on the bottom as expected. Also, there appears to be...

Everyone says it's a spear head. Can't find one online like it. It's heavy. 80.5 grams/2.840 oz. Don't believe it's stone, but someone suggested meteorite. I just have no idea. Found near the river in So. Oregon. The middle picture, that shows it as a dark brown is the more accurate color.

No way?!? What's this, something other than pottery shards? Thats not to say pottery isn't interesting, but I prefer artifacts made from rocks. lol It's nothing special compared to what some of you guys dig up, but I'll take what I can get. Its a beautiful material and both sides have been...

This stone formation was found years ago by my aunt, she insists it is Native American in origin. She said the design was carved into it but since the picture was taken with an old Polaroid its very hard to see detail. She refused to say where it was and we only know that it was about a days...

Estate sale finds. The largest is 7 3/4" long and extremely heavy. Second picture is possibly a hammer stone? It is 6 1/2" long. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The Sickle Mound's Headstone Not Available

Found here in Southern California, One hour away from LA. While metal detecting on a permission about year ago, I found this "item". Its one of a kind find for me and i happen to just dig it up while looking for metal. I have yet to get good enough info on it. It is a hollowed out like a...

I'm at a loss and need help I'm doing research on my property and area. I need help in noticing signs that native Americans have been in the area in the past. I found some maps and they could have been but I'm not 100% sure and I love history greatly so I wan't to learn more. These are the...

Went camping over the weekend and had the most unfortunate weather… that is unless you’re an amateur paleontologist! As wind, rain and lighting smashed the top of the mountain I was on, it exposed hundreds of these sea shell fossils. An interesting reminder of the dynamic shift that God put...

I found this interesting stone near the Sierra Ancha Wilderness in Arizona and would appreciate any help in identifying what it could be. In case ya'll didn't know, the Sierra Anchas are home to a ton of Indian ruins and although this wasn't found at any particular site, I had initially thought...

Interesting article and why I cringe when I think about having to declare finds of antiquity. It all comes down to money... Arizona tribes: Law requiring return of relics hasn't met promise

Last year I visited a known, but not very popular, Pueblo site. This area of the state is littered with ruins like these (all of which are accessible without permits because it is on government land) but it requires lots of 4 wheel driving and very strenuous hiking. Because they are so hard to...

Alright good people of TreasureNet, I am in need of your help once again. Somewhere in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona is a very large hilltop (locals call it a mountain but it's not). At the base of that hilltop are petroglyphs, extremly common for this area. On the other side of the hill, I've...

I believe what I have here is a pictish pebble made from quartz. There have been 19 similar stones found in the last 90 years and I believe all of them have been found in Europe. This one was found last year in the northeast United States. The picture with the multiple stones is from Painted...

Hello, can anyone identify this pottery glyph? I know it's cut off but I thought maybe someone could connect the dots. Thx!:) good luck!

I was hoping someone could help me identify these. The only thing I have found even close to them are boiling stone . But these are not shaped correctly and larger. I found them in a creek bed within approx 5 feet from each other below a shelter. And feed back or ideas would be greatly...

This is my first post, so i'll try to keep everything short and sweet. I live in crawford co arkansas, and figured I'd go out on my grand parents land today and do a few sweeps as it's right off the Ozarks. Anyways while detecting a creek I came across this rock. Something I've never seen...

Found this about ten years ago in a mole hill, a couple miles away from where the Cowlitz River spills into the Columbia River. It's extremely small, and as you can see it is an agate. I imagine it was probably used to hunt small game due to its small size. I don't have any idea on the age, and...

Hello all! I found this oddly shaped rock near a river by the flatirons. I was actually looking for a rock to shape into an axe head later this week and after picking this up it looked like the work was already done. it has a partially flattened top and bottom and at the wider end it gets...

I have came a across some interesting rock formations while hiking through the woods. It is something I've never seen before I believe it is a burial of some sort. There is a stack of flat rocks almost tall enough to be a seat, and there are 2 different piles of rock about 3 feet from eachother...

Native American ornament mode carved on both sides of one soapstone. For making beads and broaches from lead. About 3 inches square. May be between 300 and 350 years old. 1650s to 1750 possibly. Thanks for the look and info.

This item was found on my family's land that was previously home to Menominee tribe. I originally thought it may be a spear head but now am leaning towards it being a scraper of some sort, if its anything at all. It has an apparent groove in it which my thumb fits in perfectly. Black stone with...
