THAT'S A TEN DOLLAR GOLD COIN or EAGLE! EXCELLENT PIECE!
Looks to be a couple of rocks in the pic as well... Ok, the rocks are native american artifacts that might be worth a dollar or two, but the coin is superb!

Just my view from the pollution and haze.

Sorry coin was only in there for sizing

The "bead" looks to be a crinoid.

I agree with Steve, a crinoid fossil and a tip or top of a point--an artifact.

Thanks 4 the reply. They were found in TX I was told, probably Austin's Hill country. Thought was the crinniod was a bead and just wondered if anyone could say what the point is made of and a name or time the point maybe from?
Thanks

The point is the broken-off tip of a longer piece, and probably made of Edwards Plateau chert.
