I've only found a few drilled artifacts.Here's my best two.Found in the same creek in SW Arkansas.The plummet is made of Hematite.The forelock bead looks like granite.



Feel free to post your drilled artifacts.

John, I like your style...and your artifacts! That is a very fine plummet and the bead ain't bad either LOL. Here are my best two personal finds. First is a Slate Anchor type pendant from Macon Co., Illinois.

Do you think that gorget is an effigy? My friend has catlinite pipes with that same sort of look and they are storks,herons or some type of large bird representation.

A few of the men on here said it was a "zoomorphic effigy gorget", so I believe it is! lol And yes, it does have a resemblance to a heron or stork. Since blue herons love to eat my pond koi, I call it a heron!
