Interesting finds, look like manmade artifacts to me. Thanks for sharing. Hope someone comes along who can I.D. them. Thanks for posting.

They all look natural to me.

They all appear to be natural concretions to me.

 

[dognose]

they look like water worn limestone to me

Some nice Hagstones in there but I agree all are natural. If they were artifacts you wouldn't be finding "buckets" of them.

Sorry, all are natural, like Newman said, you do have what looks like a nice collection of hag stones....

 

[antmike915]

Also agree with natural.

Thank you.

They are not artifacts, they are natural including the hag stones, thread moved to geofact forum.

I'm not sure museums are the best place to get artifacts authenticated. Most do not have paleontologists, archeologists, and related field experts on staff. Many have these types of professionals as consultants or limited part time basis. Some very large well known museums do have these types on staff but it is unlikely you could stroll in with a box of rocks and get them to sit down and examine them. A local museum here has very nice display of arrowheads & spear points hanging on the wall. All repo's but shown as authentic.

If they are Natural how did they get their shape and whole made the holes and the designs?

 

[imbriaj]

I spoke to and archaeologist and the only thing natural is the material they used
I would rather beleive the Archaeologist thank you any way.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Then you talked to so call archaeologist that doesnt know what he is talking about. Check my link below. There is only over 2000 years of experience collecting artifact here.

More hag stones.

If they are Natural how did they get their shape and whole made the holes and the designs?

Shaped by Water erosion, and while they were being eroded by water passing over them there was an inclusion (fossil, pebble, etc) that eventually fell away/out and then eons of years of water passing through the hole making larger.

I would get a letter of authenticity signed by that archy. Put them on Ebay and make a killing. There is a sucker born every minute.

I for one believe you. People on this forum have been wrong before (myself included).

Just a couple of follow up questions:

- You indicated a archaeologist examined your cool finds, what was their name and out of what University did/do they work?

- You also mentioned that "Vermont museum" examined them and determined them to be Native American, who was the curator who examined them and at what Vermont Museum were they examined?

- I see you are listed as being in Florida, did they examine them in person in Vermont? Are they going to be putting them on display for a time?
