3 1/4" is one heck of a point, real nice material. Was that second piece found in the river as well? Looks like a much smaller version of a sink weight that I have seen but a whole lot more ornate.

Hey J.D,
Where ya been bud? Nice piece of Mozarkite you found there. I don't know what the second one is, but I don't believe it was man made. jmo.

Your artifact and the one on the link you posted look a lot alike. Same features and everything, I'd say you found a match. But that's just me 8) Nice finds btw.

Great point JD! Could maybe be a thunderbird on the other piece.

Nice finds, Those are the ones that I like finding but They do take up a lot of room in the display cases.I can't help you with the id on the other piece. But great finds! Sorry to hear about your accident, hope you have a full recovery. Good luck hunting. Jim

Now how the heck do they suppose that is a "Rattlesnake Effigy"? It looks nothing like a rattlesnake. LOL

Cool finds.

Awesome find, JD. I can't help you with the 2nd one but is neat looking.
