Lets see what you consider your rarest personal find...

Looks that's an amazing find , Iv seen pics of it before but wouldn't mind seeing again and I'm sure new members would too. My rarest find I would have to say is what I believe to be a pendant it's a small square made from soapstone and has 2 perfectly drilled holes in the middle. When I get home from work I will post a pic. My favorite find is my axe head it had been high on my bucket list for over 20 years before I found one about 2 years ago.
Here's axe pic I'll post pendant later

This would have to be my best find ever. Been over 27 years and I doubt I'll ever be able to top it.

Love and happiness with my wife and son !!
 

Here is my top find. It's been posted here before. - I found this clay pipe several years ago in a creek in S.W. Georgia. I doubt I'll ever top it. But, I'm going to keep trying!

That pipe was great. Good to see pics of it again.
 

This was included in my very first post on Tnet, a postmaster medallion from Germany, found in my back yard in NE Texas. I'm including pics from the only other one I could locate online. It was for sale, in Germany.(Sorry, just realized this thread is meant for Native American artifacts)

Similar to 'Black bart' (and because I still want dinner every night), my rarest personal find was my wife--44 years ago in Dallas Texas..
Don......
 

This is my rarest personal find...at least it is pretty personal to the person who lost it!

Well this is what I consider the rarest piece seeing I have yet to see another. Its a pottery adornment that would of been attached to a pot. Made by hand of course and the research I had gotten and then it ended was there was a big chief that was the king of all tribes in this area I live in and this is his face. Dont know if it is true or not but thats the story I read and cant remember where I saw it at, some place on the net. Not sure if its real valuable but it is rare. I won an award for it at one of the artifact shows. Guess they thought it was special, rock

DSCF0452.webp Not sure if this is anywhere close to what you guy's are posting, but was told it was fairly rare. Found in Illinois and believed to be Archaic. Found it while working.
 

I could very well have older artifacts, but this is what I believe to be rarer.

I have older artifacts but I would consider my avatar to be my rarest of finds...it is a white ground slate point probably made by the Red paint people of Maine...3,000-4,000 years old...let's see them mjm...

That thing is amazing.

Thats a very nice one and probably rare. You dont see as many people posting these here on T-net as you do people posting their projectile point finds.
 

Not sure what it was used for, neither are the state archeologist or any of his peers.

Cool...what material is it?
 

Amazing pieces you people post, I hope to see more. This was found on the front side of a small hill on where all these valleys intersected. You could see a lot from this point. I found a small drill and a piece of the pipe. I started digging around and found around 1/2 dozen drills mixed in with the catlinite pieces I went back many times and found a few more each time. I have never tried to glue it. Definataly rare for me and astonishing to think about. Sorry for the bad pictures. I lost my key to my case and things are sliding. There are some shell pieces from someone making a necklace. That was found down lower in the valley.
