The black tooth looking pieces in the center picture are made from coal...I was told they are called "canine coal" pieces. They were used on a necklace I presume. Appropriate using coal in the WV area..lol

Ah ha, Washouts on those silty riverbanks would explain the great condition.
I am guessing that you have plenty brokes also.
I have been around the Moundsville area. Pretty advanced folks lived there years ago.
I agree about the trade routs. Unfortunately industry seems to be the order of the day there now.
Nice saves,
Zuma

NICE FINDS!  I would have suspected a digger too, but if you say you found them...that's awesome!  Great collection, dp

JackCrafty:
