I live in Western Idaho, next to the Oregon border. I have a few obsidian rocks I uncovered in my yard as I was sinking Posts for my fence. One was black about 1 inches x 3 inche. Another one, below was a 4 inches by 3. We find them around here a lot.

Too funny.

Reminds me of the joke,

Pa where do we get our names from?

Well son, after a child is born, the fatther looks over the land, and the fist thing he sees gives him an idea of what the Child’s name should be.

Why do you ask 2 dog’s *#@^ing?

By the way, as of today, the rock I showed you, is worth almost $600. According to a few rock sites that sell puny pieces of obsidian on their web site. I guess if a person were real serious, they could make a pretty penny breaking them up and selling them like some places sell Mt St Helens ash in test tubes.

Every tool I’ve ever found, flint or otherwise is precious to me. Never bought one, never sold one. That is a beautiful stone. If I had found it, it would have made my day.

You should see the arrow heads and add heads I found in my back yard when I lived in Chico Ca

Our house was built on land that was once an Indian village for Indians who worked for Keifer’s saw mill in the late 1800s

You’re lucky. I found 2 points and 1 celt in my back yard. Imagine how many generations were here before us. I tell my son that you never know where you will find something.

I agree,

I love history and especially the true ingenuity many people of the past had to survive

99% of humans alive today would be dead within a Month if they lost the ability modern technology offers them

Thus the reason we as a society are so easily swayed into being sheep to those who wish to control us

They fear what may happen if they lose what they have

Here is two images. One is some of the artifacts I found in my back field when I lived in Chico California. Then a close up of tow of the rocks. I took a few pics at different angles of one for you to see. It looks like it was fashioned into a spear head.

As you will see, the rocks look quite normal and innocuous to the untrained eye. Yet close up view shows how they were chiseled in a crude way to be sharp. Nature does not do that to rocks, Indians did.

The last 2 images are pictures of petrified rocks. One is wood, and the next is a walnut. The walnut I found in my back field. The wood is from Yellowstone Park. My Grandparents found it like 60 years ago. Today it is illegal to collect petrified wood from Yellowstone. I thought you would find them interesting.



( Many of my collection)


(This one shows how it was chiseled by someone,
and could have been used as a hatchet head maybe)


(The next three are the same, but taken at different angles.
It looks like it was fashioned to be attacked to a spear)






(What follows are the petrified items)

(petrified walnut)

I wish I knew how to post pics I could show you some of my points and other tools I have found. I deliver newspapers in a valley, all farmland. I stop sometimes by a cornfield and just walk a couple of hundred yards along a stream and sometimes I get lucky.

Mahantango Creek- Place where there is much venison. Where I deliver.
Mahanoy Creek- Place where deer lick salt. It is behind my house, it is tinged orange from coal mine water leeching into it. It holds a healthy fish pop. beautiful trout.

It is a large stream and it was probably crystal clear before coal. I know the natives lived and camped here for generations.

Thanks for the pics. I will look at them closely.

I just hope who ever created them were indigenous to the area and didn’t come from somewhere else.
Acting all high and mighty. Saying their way of worshipping the stars was the only true way to worship the stars.
