badandy, those are nice looking. what were they used for and when do they date to?
 

Chong2, They were used as gaming stones and these type of discoidals date in the Mississippian time period. Check out www.lithiccastinglab.com for more info on Discoidals. Pete has a good explanation of the game, and dif. types as well.

Killer chunky stone, who's mark is it?
 

Man you're getting a killer hard stone collection. I've still yet to find a discoidal yet.

Very nice bud.

Lets get together soon.

I'm laid-off so I got all the flint findin time in the world.
