Found in a creek in East Tennessee

Third time thinking I found something and didn’t lol. So found this in southeast Wisconsin in a farm field about a mile off the lake (Michigan) near a small lake and creek. Could this be a scraper. I don’t believe this stone is from this area but might be just a flake? Thanks!

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I found this off the west coast and was wondering for any information on what it is and what to do thanks

The pendant weighs 21.79 grams, is not magnetic, and appears to be cast from a soft white metal (possibly lead, pewter, or a lead-tin alloy). It has an integral loop at the top. Probably meant to be worn around the neck or to be hung up somewhere? Not sure.

I’ve searched for religious medals, plantation artifacts, trade ornaments, slave tags, military insignia, and folk charms but haven’t found any matches. Or how could I figure out what the letters say on the back?

Has anyone seen something similar or know what period or tradition it might belong to?

Found this drawing in the water at a lake. Can anyone explain what it is and how old??

This was found in the silt of a river bed, close to the estuary into the Forth River. It's about 5.5/6inches long. Could anyone shine some light on it's possible purpose or age? The area has had a lot of ship and fishing traffic for a few hundred years, so wondered if it's something to do with sailing?

Found this on my property in North Carolina. I'm on the western end of the state about a mile from the Georgia line. It seems really old, I've been slowly cleaning trying to preserve for a month or longer. There's definitely some engraving or a seal maybe? Any way very curious if anyone has ever seen anything similar? Maybe out of a kids meal knowing my luck lol.

Hi! I found this in East Tennessee. Any thoughts on whether it may be a man made tool or just a convincing imposter?

I found this while exploring Windy Hill Great house Ruins in St. John (U.S. Virgin Islands). I’m trying to learn more about the piece if anyone has any info. I left it at the site since your not allowed to take stuff.

looks like sandstone bot the rock is harder. Is this native american?

My Dad and i found this Stone in their rock garden in East Germany and we find the shape unusual.

The green dots are not inclusions but wall paint.

Google's AI says it could be a shoe last wedge or a granite stone axe, but that doesn't really count, right. 😅

So he asked me to upload it here. We would be grateful for any advice. ✌🏼

Thanks! 🙋🏻‍♂️

found on former native land in Upstate New York

Any idea what kind of point and how old?

Thai archaeologists from the Fine Arts Department have discovered two ancient gold rings, including a rare signet ring bearing an ancient Indian Brahmi inscription, at the Don Yai Thong archaeological site in Ban Lat District, Phetchaburi Province.

Language specialists and archaeologists from Silpakorn University tentatively read the script as "Pusrakhitasa" (or Pusrajitasa) translates to "belonging to Pusrakhita" or "one who is protected by the Pushya star".

This artifact stands as critical historical evidence proving the direct, vibrant maritime trade and cultural exchange between the Indian subcontinent and the ancient Suvarnabhumi region (present-day Thailand) during the early historic period.

Found in eastern Ohio clay soil while excavating a building foundation. Quarter for scale.

My guess is that it was made for scraping hides, but I'm no expert.
