Found Orange tinted glass pieces and a rock that looks chiseled.

There is a 75' knoll behind my house that I've been wanting to get into for a while. Now that I have the Simplex+ setup the way that works for me, I decided to give it a whirl on the knoll (mound) and these pieces are what I found:

Oops, forgot to size the "rock". The large square is 2"x2":

It's also broke off at the bottom.

Any ideas? I know it's not much to go on and I'm going to have to bring in my mini digger to get deep enough to get the rest of the pieces. The glass was found along with a tin screw-on lid (only pieces found. the rest is too deep) that I am cleaning up at this time. I was hoping the lid was to a jar full of coins but, I was already over a foot deep and it was too difficult to go down any further.

Thanks for looking!

I would say that the glass is likely depression glass. You should be able to compare it to pink depression glass on Ebay to get the pattern name for yours. The piece of chert could have been used as a scraper or small knife but the chips look like natures work, not mans. JMO

Thank you flinthunter. I'll look into the depression glass.

As for the "chert", I am hoping the rest of it is left in the hole. I'm going to give it a go again tomorrow.

Cheers.
