(Alligator) Effigy Piece?

Well considering Grim has been hunting decades before you were born the answer is yes.

There are over 1700 years of Native American Artifact experience here and yet you challenge every time someone tells you your rock is simply a rock. .

And why do you think that is?

Why do you think I feel so confident?

 

[Indiana_acklac]

Almost like I've already gained the respect of highly respected individuals? No?

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

And why do you think that is?

Because you refuse to listen and learn and refuse to accept that your rock isn't an artifact.

Professor Emeritus's do not agree. At least with some of the findings I've posted here in the past few months.

What if your forum was where I found a bunch of excellent info whilst engaged in research?

What if I felt your forum was the best out there?

"We're" only trying to help this place out....

You ask a 1000 people and feel vindicated when you find 1 who agrees with you.

If you want to try to get one of your artifacts certified go for it, maybe there is something that we can't see over the pictures that can prove that the piece was somehow used or modified by man that we just can't see over the photos. When we let you know we think something is just a rock we are not saying it can't be an artifact we are just saying we can't say it is... and without visible signs of use or modification it is very very very difficult to prove that something is anything more than just a rock.

Some of these people have more than half a century of hunting/collecting under their belt... they usually know what they are talking about, if you really want to learn more it is wise to listen to them... IMO.

Vindicated? No.

I feel that I have a point...

Respectfully, experience in what, though, NA!?

I've handled NA artifacts for over 60 years. I joined the local geology club in the late 1960's. In the geology club I've been past president for two years and past vice president for two years, so I do have some experience. Sorry, it's just a naturally formed rock. JMO

I get that.

A half-century of collecting, what, exactly? It seems we have a whole bunch of guys collecting an extremely wide-range of "NA" artifacts on this forum?

Great! How did it naturally form, then?

(These are the questions that have gained me respect, btw)

Your have no point. You've made your arguments on why this is an artifact, question people's knowledge and experience when they disagree with you, try to draw circles inside a chronological timeLINE so that you can prove you are smarter than everyone else. You've gone as far as stating what you ALMOST went to school to be in an effort to prove you're smarter and know more than other people on here. At the end of all of this, its a rock and you're just trolling for attention.

That is because this is Native American Artifact forum.

So now you're argument for your rock is that because a bunch of NA artifact collectors on a NA artifact collecting forum can't explain how your rock is formed naturally, then it can't be natural, has to be an artifact. wow

that is debatable.
