North Carolina hide scraper and pottery?

[B|lker]

I admit i`m not much of collector of Indian artifacts but i have happened upon a few confirmed finds during my relics and gold recovery endeavors.
The Scraper was found in a creek that feeds the Dan river near Hwy 64 and the pottery was found on the west side of Lake Badin Lake along the railway at a public swimming hole not far from Morrow Mountain.
Do you thinks these are authentic?
Thanks for your input in advance.

Sorry. Just a rock and dried clay/shale.

They look like, they should be,,,,, but they are not. The have the right shapes and colors but it is mother nature. Google mimetoliths or paredolia its kinda like that. The brain recognizes the shape.
I would have picked them up also. We all do.

Agree with the above conclusions. You are in a very rich area for NA artifacts. If you're interested enough to get permission to search plowed fields, you will find something....quickly!
