A large, holed shard, bone with a hole and a plummet.
Hit the riverbank instead of the beach on Saturday looking for NA items or European items. Winds from Helene pushed the edge of the water inland somewhat but didn't really erode the beach. She just pushed the loose sand higher on shore.
This fairly large shard surprised me when I noticed the hole in it. As large as it is and as close to the edge that the hole is I can't imagine this was repurposed by them for ornamentation or a net weight.
Actually, the first interesting items I found were fossilized teeth. A tiger shark, a molar and an incisor, and I'm not sure which animal they came from. Maybe you guys & gals will know.
It was a fun, hot, long, interesting day of detecting.
When I got home I decided to clean up the trunk and wash up other shards I've found. That's when I noticed the notches and incuse lines on both faces of one shard. That's when I realized I had a nice plummet.
The holed bone was from a previous foray and I wanted to include it in this post to see what the consensus is. I believe the hole is man made and hope you can confirm or refute it for me.
Enjoy and let me know your thoughts on any of the items.
