More Finds, Same Area

[River Rat]

I thought I would be nice & place everything found today on the scanner. Not pictured, but did find another today...I call them punice stones, cause that's what if feels like. Does anyone have any clue to what these may have been used for back in those days?

The 3 white thingies (rocks) are very unusal finds.

Oh, it's cold here too!!

Beautiful finds...the pumice stones may actually be pottery balls. Pottery balls were used by Indians as a way of keeping liquids or food warm...first heated in the fire then dropped into vessels.

Glad to see you are able to get out and hunt as we are still buried in snow!!!!

I have some of those sandstone type balls. We call them "Indian Game Balls" I have heard several different theories on them from..a warming ball like Gypsie said, as medicine balls used for healing, and for games played by the indians? I have one that pretty good size it is about as big as a tennis ball. the others I have are about the size of a large marble. They are cool finds though.
Thanks

Such nice colors River, some student could sure use your collections to make a nice science fair project.

I used leaves as a project one year, the darn things dried up before judging... why didn't I think of stones
