We had a bunch of material brought in to our property (around 100 full dump truck loads) and in digging holes to landscape, came across this piece. Feels like it could be iron and is definitely corroded. I lightly rinsed the mud and dirt off of it but otherwise this is how we found it. For reference, I’m on Vancouver Island, Canada.
Found this in northern Germany in a area that doesn't really have flint and was wondering if this might be a crude blade-core. Or maybe just a strange rock?
Central Ohio, USA, near the Olentangy River
Does anyone know of similar artifacts or is it just a rock 😅
Found on a river bank in the north of Spain. A friend brought it convinced that is a kind of tool because there are very convenient spaces to place the thumb and fingers.
I think that, if something, it looks more like a fossil.
In the region there are many fossils but also a lot of findings since stone age, bronze, iron, Roman or middle age... We also have many regular stones 😁
Any idea?
I'm helping my mother (who lost her memory) get rid of some of her things. I found a small packet of these mixed in with genuine Egyptian, Roman, Phoenician, Greek, etc... pieces. But what are they? I can't tell the difference between Roman, Egyptian, etc...
Thanks so much for any insight you can provide!
