Ok I'm not one of these people that are like THIS IS A SIGN and am pretty rational. Well this one got me today. I was detecting next to a fork in the river and saw this.. The rock is in the form of a arrow and has carved lines in it (I believe carved). It was pointing towards the fork in the river. In the last pic I outlined the lines. There is history of rocks being carved in my are by the Spanish in 1520. There was also a battlefield nearby. Is this anything made by a Native American, settler, soldier, or is it just natural? Thanks

That gravel bar looks like it might hold some artifacts but am thinking it is natural stone. It does look like it should be something though. Did you find any relics with your Ace?

Possibly a mushroomed minié ball, it's pretty beat up. I might go back to the gravel bar and really search it for arrowheads or something. Might have one in there. Thanks for your opinion on this

You are welcome. I blew up your gravel bar pics and am seeing raw quartz nodules and some raw flint it looks like. Might find something was older than a 3 ringer. Good luck!

I picked up a few wannabes but didnt keep them. I'm hoping there might be some. I rarely hunt for arrowheads but have had luck in the past.

This was a stone found in my county. It was left by Juan Pardo in 1507. Mine almost looks like the arrow THIS WAS NOT FOUND BY ME. It was found in 1935

Wow nice find on that incised rock. I like that arrow carved into it. Very interesting piece of history.

Wait are you talking about the piece that's in the museum? The one with the full arrow wasnt found by me. It was found in the 1930s. I was showing that one for refrence

Oh OK well it is still nice to see it. I have never seen a better one like that before.
