Here are some neat Artifacts I have found (Love finding the Tools)

[car209]

I love finding the tools just about as much or more than the Arrowheads. This is just a fraction of my finds. All lgally of coarse.

Lets see the arrowheads instead most of those are rocks or flakes. Not all but 99% of them. Sorry

 

[car209]

thats why I have 6 COA's on them.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Someone gave you COA's on those pieces?? Seriously?? I'd like to know who so I know not to ever send anything to them since they obviously don't know a natural rock from and artifact. Other then the 3 flakes in the top row I don't see anything that even remotely resembles and artifact.

Who do you send your stuff to , to get authenticated? I looked thru some of your previous post, and they are all about the same. People telling you they are just rocks. I was just curious WHO is authenticating your items. I too go out looking for Points and Native tools, and come across Sooo many things that Look to be something, but they turn out to be natural formations. There are alot of educated people on here, and I dont think they would steer you the wrong way if they felt you had something good. Have you and your Husband been doing this for awhile?

Now those are no doubt something special, The one rock looks to be a mano, but the other looks like a typical smooth river rock...

Great stuff!!..Do you live in North Texas?

Car there are hundreds of years of combined experience here...

Members did not insult you, they gave their opinions which I also agree with.

You can disagree with their opinions but no need to insult them....

Take no offense with what I say car. I have been hunting and collecting Indian artifacts for 30 years and in the short length of time I have been on this sight I have learned that there are several members, The Grim Reaper, Rock along with a few more that know what they are talking about. They are trying to help you not offend you. Even after 30 years hunting I have learned quite a bit more from these members on this site. You do have some real nice points. Keep hunting and learning.

Do your bone pieces show cut marks? You obviously know what artifacts are by the points you have shown.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Car209, I have been collecting artifacts for 50 years and I am just trying to help you out. None of those stones above are actual artifacts. If someone is authenticating those for you and charging you for it then they are just ripping you off. Nothing you have in the first post is an artifact. I have a feeling you think you have Celts, Axes, Hoes, etc in those stones and they are not.

You really need to get a book on Texas artifacts and study it. Or at least go on line and find some pictures of Texas artifacts. There are Axes found in Texas, as well as Celts and other Stone Tools but none of yours are any of those.

Here are some pics of Texas artifacts that I own and some Stone Tools from Ohio. All the trays are Texas pieces and the rock with grooves in it is called a Calendar Stone and it is also from Texas. The rest are Ohio Stone Tools.

Perds!!!!!!! love Perds....

I think the Montells and the Frios are my favorite Texas types.

 

[San Antone]

car209, a great guide to Texas artifacts: Stone Artifacts of Texas Indians by Ellen Sue Turner, Thomas R. Hester & Richard L. McReynolds. The revised third edition. Very informative. Will help you a lot.
The Grim Reaper, I too love Frio and Montells.

In your initial post I do not see any articulate artifacts. The items in photo's 2, 3, and 9 appear to be possible flaked debris, but I do not see any manufactured artifacts. (( Don't give up.)) It is wise to adhere to others here that have suggested that you read and learn from the books of your area mentioned previously.
