Hi folks,

Just finished a hunt today. I found a beautiful quartzite peice, maybe brewerton, not sure. One ear missing. An argillite peice, possible lamoka, and a wading river quartz. Today I also happened upon a geo fact net weight, but I do think it was used as a netweight. Very similar to the net weight I uploaded recently. I will upload the similar one. They were found pretty close to one another.

The previous hunt a couple days ago yielded some nice quartz once again.

Here are some photos. Any unfo on ths quartzite one is appreciated.

Chris

Good finds. What is the one in the third pic?
 

Today I also happened upon a geo fact net weight, but I do think it was used as a netweight. Very similar to the net weight I uploaded recently.

So found out of context and no visible signs of human alteration, why do you think it's a net weight?
 

Your other finds are very good. Not trying to take away from those by any means.

I said geofact, but believe it was used as a netweight. Look at the net weight here. Same area. It's almost I identical. However this one was worked.

It's just a huge coincidence if not.

I think the quartzite cornernotch is more likely to be a Vosberg than Brewerton FWIW.

You find more nice stuff in a week than I used to in a year. :)
 

I’ve got something very similar to what your calling a net weight. Don’t know what they are, I think mine might be a clay handle or knob, could be a weight though I guess.

This was found in rock cave shelter in e Ky. Looks pretty similar to me
 

That is very similar.
It may not be a netweight. I do get the impression rope or line was tide to it. Maybe go hold down corners of fur to dry or canopy. I do get the feel it was tied to line and used as a weight. Mine are not clay. The green ine I get, maybe look alike. The rock one ground and pecked.

Yours does look similar. Mine were found in a field very close to one another. This field does hold a campsite.

I spend a little to much time looking around. If I spent that doing overtime I'd be doing very well. Trade offs. I enjoy my time put there.
