Some finds from Sunday

[fyrffytr1]

I went to a native American site with a good friend Sunday to do some detecting. I found a few decent metal items and eyeballed the pieces in the pictures. The broke point had a fresh brake but I couldn't find the other piece. I was told the triangular shaped rock may be a polishing stone used to smooth pottery. The flat sides are slightly pitted but the edges are polished smooth. No other rocks like it any where around. In fact, other than flint flakes this was the only rock. It was found at a hut site a good ways from the creek and the same site Garebel1861 found his discoidal game piece.

Nice looking finds. Love metal detecting sites when there is the possibility of finding NA artifacts too.

That rod shaped item is very interesting to find with artifacts.. I've found a few stone "rods" at worksites. Must be part of a tool kit?...

Pretty cool stuff comes from that site.

If you are talking about the "rod" in the third and fourth picture That is a wood skewer I use to clean recovered items with. It helped hold up the stone for the pictures.

I'd wager it's the solid rod you remove from a piece of quartz(-ite) when you drill a hole through it with cane & sand.
Nice !!
