Thinking you found a gun flint and a broken ax only to take them home, clean them and realize they are just natural rocks. A momoclinic gypsum crystal and a chunk of weathered sandstone. It wasn't a complete loss, I learned a little about crystal structures and did find a broken piece of a hopewell core. Also, I spotted both from a distance and in the water, so I know my eyes are still working. The shapes were spot on. Apparently gypsum only forms this type of crystal under perfect conditions, so that's something I guess. Hopefully next time out, real artifacts.

    Learning is a good thing. I have a type of rock in the creek that looks like flint and it even has shapes like artifacts. But just natural but can get your heart pumping if you don’t know what it is.

      That chunk of sandstone could be a net weight....
      Wandering wherever I can, mostly in Eastern Arkansas, always looking down.
