Hello, I'm new to TreasureNet. I've been looking for any possible ideas on Google and elsewhere what this could be? My husband found it on his property in the house he grew up in, in Northern Ohio, and my father in law had it made into part of his fireplace. The story goes that when my...

hello all. Hope you’re doing well!! I found this when I was a kid on the bank of a river in northern Idaho just around the bend from a dam in Post Falls. I was told by a local rock guy that it looks like a kind of memorial stone I always thought it looked like a fossil but I was a kid. LOL...

I found this piece of stone on a rocky beach on the Oregon coast. As you can see, it has a small portion of what appear to be concentric rings with markings between the rings which give the appearance of being letters. Something with the shape of the letter “N” appears at least 5 times. Other...

I recently came across this boulder while exploring in central AZ. Does this boulder (pic 1) look manipulated? If so, what do you see? The main boulder, about 5ft tall, has a support stone (pic 2) leaning into it from behind. The support stone and main boulder form a perfectly nested 90...

Hey guys, I’ve been trying to learn different rock types because I believe it’ll help me identify Native American artifacts out in the field. Is this a piece of chert? It looks like some examples I’ve seen online. It is really hard and I can’t scratch it with a steel nail.

Any ideas on this? I keep hearing "vesicular basalt" but this has me stumped. Found near Lone Mountain Nevada yesterday evening, was the ONLY rock like it within my field of view. It's heavy for it's size (about as heavy as 2 cans of pepsi), has what I think is a very worn fusion crust, has...

Hey guys! Just got home from an open market/yard sale thing and I found these beautiful stone things that I cannot figure out the function of. I thought they’re maybe for watercolor pigments and water but they’re too large. What do you think?

Here is some information about the stone: İt's transculent, hard, has moss trapped in it, it's been used for a tool.

Possible Native American maul (left photo)? The only reason I ask is it was found in a collection with other 'actual' mauls that have grooves for hafting. Also, it does seem to have some tip wear. This is the only photo I have...

Hello! I found this rock in Cooperstown, New York. It doesn't worth anything probably but I am curious what kind of rock it is? It looks like a snake skin/ reptile skin. I found something on Google about the snakeskin agate but my stone doesn't look really like that. Thank you!
