Nice collection, Zuma.  many of your artifacts look similar to ones I found in Coastal SC many years ago.

I only have a few from SC Pat but they are very
similar to ones I find east of the Blue Ridge in VA.
The cool stone that looks like awheel is from eastern
SC I think it was a spindle cap? Also a notched banner stone
green stone gorget and broke shield banner.

Very cool Zuma, when I show my cousin he's gonna want to come visit you. He has a nice collection of mostly local stuff but small compared to yours.

No problem BJ but the collecting is no where like it used to be. No-till and all.
Thanks Hans I have more. Not to mention the pottery. Perhaps a new thread for pottery.

Here are some bannerstone preforms they stay together better than when the hole is drilled.

I know what your saying Zuma. We use to plow and till our fields several times, plant in garden conditions with very little crop residue. Now we never plow and leave plenty of residue on top. We plant cover crops to protect the soil from wind and rain erosion. Good for the ground and wildlife, not so much for looking for artifacts. Hard to even see the ground most of the time.

Yep as muc h as I miss the artifacting it's a good trade.
13 tons of soil an acre were being sent to a delta somewhere.
Just look at Grand Isle LA.

These are unusual stone tools
Top left-plumet FL   then a small one. Maybe a pendant NJ
center are chisel ended pebbles ( for insising pottery?) NJ
A chunky stone from AL
A jasper end scraper, SAW from TX
bottom right may be Viking. Found in an attic LOL

2-- some more celts. Top left is double bit

Just wondering Zuma, what are you going to do with your collection when your time is up? Most of us just have "stuff" that can be disposed of easily but you have special stuff. Museum maybe?

I am going to hire a Cessna and drop the stuff randomly across the US landscape.
