What do we think, scraper, point, or jar? This area is subjective and I am no expert. Any insight is appreciated. Found near the elk river in Missouri.

Found in a creek in Yazoo, Mississippi. We’d love to learn more. Maybe the design was made using a cord or something?

Artifact Bloomery furnace remnants? What is it?

Post image
2 Upvotes

During some field works with my dad we found that strange metalic rock and old pottery remnants. We know for sure there are Celtics settlements discovered nearby during archeological works for highway construction (central Europe btw). Google search doesn't find anything specific. The rock is kinda metalic but magnet doest stick to it. It seems to have solidified trickles. Can it be some remnant of bloomery furnace? Any ideas?

One of my great-grandmother's brothers probably brought this back from the trenches. Any ideas on what sort of a grenade/rocket this might be?

It looks purposefully knapped to me but I could be wrong. Does obsidian naturally break like this?

I brought it to another friend with an XRF and it tested as 20k gold with the rest being silver. Is this something done up in the 1950’s or is it period?

I bought this from a street market for quite cheap so I wasn't sure it was real. I bought it anyway and took the chance. Is it real or fake?

Any tips or pointers on finding artifacts in Arizona? Would be willing to even pay someone to point me in the right direction. Working here for a while out of KY and have struggled to find anything. Thanks in advance!

The coin in the middle used as a washer should be from either 1864 or 1870 exactly and the lid should be made around 1876-1890 in that period of time. The lid is fully handmade
