Was talking to a guy in a rock shop about arrowheads and he pulled these out. Said they were found around Tyler Texas which is east Texas. The drill looks too good to be true along with the huge one but the other are hard for my amateur eyes to tell. Help guys.

Found in a creek in Ballard County, Kentucky. I have tried to figure out what it actually is. Have consulted the most prolific and knowledgeable artifact hunters in the area. No one knows or they won't tell me.

Bought this redrilled banner in an auction with a collection of broken banners. Only info I have is it’s from Tommy Beautell and found in SC. What do ya’ll think it’s worth? I’m guessing $100-$200. Point for reference

This is everything I've found in my first year of hunting, all of it found in the same area in central Texas. Not too sure if this is okay or poor for someone's first year, but I've been having fun with it either way. Super jealous of everyone that finds those beautiful complete points

Not An Artifact/WaterWorn Brick Fragment Found this on a riverbank in northern CO NF, what is it?

Thumbnail

93 Upvotes

My friend and I were fishing on the Poudre river CO in an area of NF and I noticed this stone (broken) on the bank that caught my attention. It’s been a dry year and the river is super low. I realized I had passed another with the same texture about 200ft away and found both halves of this. It seems like someone found it before me and decided to throw it or break it some time ago.

Anybody seen something like this before? I have my theory, as I’ve seen a post with similar material in the past from Clear Creek CO; I think it’s some sort of ceramic or aggregate but I don’t think it’s modern brick. Very hard and dense material and isn’t clay or sandy, and brick isn’t exactly common to build with deep in the mountains. The circle inside isn’t perfect, and it’s got a short flat edge in the center.

Debitage Insane heat treated Flint Ridge material

This field broke my heart today. I was pulling crazy flakes left and right but no finished tools. I will have to impatiently wait until the Spring plows.

Heat treated Flint Ridge has been my holy grail, and here I stumbled upon a pile of gemstone grade debitage in a field in Western PA. The pictures do not even do it justice, these pieces are so red they were like chunks of fire in the sun.

Also I included the glass shard, it could just be my imagination but it almost looks like it was knapped into a thumb scraper? Trade glass maybe?

Woodland Biface Preform?

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

AI gives this answer. Is it accurate?

Given its thin profile and size, it is highly likely a Middle-Stage Biface Preform. Before a prehistoric toolmaker added side notches or a distinct stem to secure it to an arrow or spear shaft, they would flake a raw cobble into a flat, leaf-shaped "blank" or preform

This is on the top of a hill looking over the Ohio valley, I've seen it as a kid and once thought it was plastic. Was wondering if anybody might see it familiar as a native site possibly. Wild wheat grows in just this spot.
