anyone know what these are?

All of these stones are a coquina type stone that came from the same coastal site. They all have been altered from their natural shape..some more than others. Grinding is visible on all edges.

Absolutely..
I only took photos of a few.

I was thinking about this all day.....! Could they possibly have been used as a strigil ?

"A strigil was a small, curved, metal tool used in ancient Greece and Rome to scrape dirt and sweat from the body before effective soaps became available"

I like the way your mind works. I suppose that is possible...but there was plenty of water around and sand for abrasive. I have some with some very curved shapes that seem they would be perfect for shaping the rim. I think your gut was most likely correct. I can see tooling marks on the pottery from that site that seem consistent with them. Although now you have me thinking......

Looks like plain ole rocks. I wouldn't even bend over to pick them up, let alone waste other peoples time by posting plain ole rocks. Please post some legitimate artifacts, and a bunch of rocks that tickle your imagination.

 

[GatorBoy]

What's your problem huh? Move along. Why did you waste both of our time with that post? You need to get something of your chest?

 

[old digger]

Just beacuse they were found in a ''midden'', that doesn't mean they are worked artifacts.

 

[GatorBoy]

Go away.. who said anything about a midden?

 

[GatorBoy]

I hate when people make posts after they are drunk.

 

[old digger]

I DO NOT DRINK! Show us some real artifacts!

 

[GatorBoy]

Mabey you should start!! SHOW US SOME REAL INTELLIGENCE! ! I'm not responding to a fool any longer.have fun Bud.

 

[GaRebel1861]

Interesting finds for sure. Can't say that I've seen one up this way.

 

[coinhound1983]

If those rocks had been shaped that way from the water, it wouldn't have the angled edges. It would be rounded. So I believe it is real artifacts. Also whoever manger this site should ban you or put you in a remedial treasurenet app.. I'm only 28 and can tell those were worked... Silly noob.

No offense digger, but he ask a legitimate question "what are these". Now, I've read your complaints about rocks in the past. If this is not the place to ask "what are these" with a photo attached, where do we go ? I'll move on, and so will others. Want to see artifacts, computer ain't where you find them. Once again, don't take this wrong.

 

[GatorBoy]

Thanks guys...you should read the p.m.'s I got from this Guy.

 

[coinhound1983]

Old digger is just mad cuz you found artifacts and I found 2IH and a 14k gold cross.. So he's the 1st treasure net troll.. Lol. Maybe u should get out more mr digger, with your remedial comments.
