I have posted a couple of these rocks before but not all of them, so here is my question. Are they artifacts or just really interesting rocks. I like to pick up interesting rocks. All of these were found at a low water crossing in Boggy Creek, Atoka County Oklahoma. I was looking on Youtube and saw some similar to the ones I have. The two that interest me the most are the ones by the ruler. The one with the hole is so cool, but the other one is smooth on all sides, flat and smooth on all sides except for a small place shown in one of the pictures. There are several that have what appears to be sharp edges on them. Also two of them are round on the top and flat on the bottom. Thank you for looking at the pictures. 1.webp2.webp3.webp4.webp5.webp

So here is what I know. You can't always believe what you see on the Internet lol. Cool rocks though :)
 
You have some interesting rocks there, but I do not see any worked artifacts. Wish you better luck on your next hunt.
 
Could I see some close up of these two?


Edit: still not letting me upload pictures. The 1st and 2nd ones on the 2nd row

I realize that I am the only artifact or relic in this post...but my treasures (granddaughters 5 & 7) like to go for walks with their Gigi to look for rocks. Feeling truly blessed. I would rather just dig something up...gotta tell Santa (my honey) I need a new metal detector. Thanks again for looking!
 
Just rocks sir, better luck next time. ..
 
Keep hunting with those kids:thumbsup:What they find will always be treasure to you:thumbsup:
 
Well to be honest these seem appropriate for a nice rock garden on a small scale.
Use them around potted cactus or other plants and it will help retain moisture.
Don't give up on collecting artifacts or fossils.
Treasures are out there just waiting to be found and some put to practical use.

Still, you're in a great part of the country for findin artifacts. From pre-historic people on up through the war between the states. Is that an historic crossing or something more recent? Hope you're detectin all around it, and check the areas a hundred yards or so back from it. If it's historic, and people camped near it for whatever reason, some folks held the belief you should camp that far back from a creek to avoid 'evil miasmas' rising and lingering along the banks of running water.
 
Hi Digbhistory, Look for for areas where water meets water. Small creeks - rivers- marshy areas. One day, out of the blue, you will find something Breathtaking :) Kat
 
Not every tool or weapon had been chipped.
Some were ground, or used for things like rubbing.

Small indentations work well for cup rocks, whether
natural, or man manipulated. I always wonder how
many village sites full of rocks laying around, don't
have any thing noticeable, as being "worked".

No, that's not what people look for to collect.
The plain, natural looking shapes. A manmade
hole is able to be found out.

Many crude pieces, served as multi-purpose tools,
that do almost always go unnoticed, so many tools,
they have become repeatedly, commonly familiar.

Maybe because people didn't recognize, or know the
practical purposes of them, or see the particular need,
though some plain, little or unseen worked, really were,
quite necessary and functional... :fish:
