The game ball is interesting. You know it took dad a week to make it and the kids lost it in the back yard the first time they used it.

Kieth Any ideal what the one on the right is. It rolls like a tire, hollowed out on both sides to balance it is what it seems like, Nate, pieces like the one on the right are called discoidals. No one is exactly sure how the discoidals were used, but they were a type of game stone. There were none found predating the Woodland Period and they then became very popular. I suspect they might have been used with the game balls. It could be you tried to land your ball in the discoidal and other people tried to knock it out. It may have been similar to Bocci. You have some very fine pieces. Keith

I only have arrow heads. My 94 year old grandmother dug them when she was a kid on the farm. If you would like to post pictures of your arrowheads, I would like to see them. Keith

Kieth Glad you like them I really enjoy showing them to people to enjoy. The big black blade is very fine piece,it's just under six inches and was never sharpened on the top side meaning it's close to original as when they finished it. Here's a few more hope you enjoy them. I found all these none are bought and there documented. Nate, you have some great finds. I've only found around 70 artifacts, most of what I have, especially in points, I've bought. There was a camp or small village on my farm. Most of what I have found here is tools used for making pemmican. I think I may have 2 small mounds on my farm. In 2020 moles pushed fragments of pottery out of 1 of them. I left it lay. Most of the tools I've found have been on 3 sides, downhill of one of my barns. I think the Natives camped right where the barn is. Keith
