Man, so jealous. Would sure like to know how many generations of natives it took to lay down all the artifacts thru your property. Decades, centuries, millennia? Wish that stuff could talk...

Here are a couple that I have collected from the lake shores...depends on the ice as to what is unearthed. Always amazed that even a scrap survives hundreds of years, more aptly hundreds of freeze-thaw cycles. Holds up better than our roads! Would love to find a larger piece but not likely when it comes to pottery shards in the upper midwest. Love looking at these and pondering the patterns etched on them..pieces of string and fingernails from long before my time. ![[Linked Image]](http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k427/ben_falk1976/DSC01100_zps5frqvtya.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k427/ben_falk1976/DSC01099_zpsyotykrrc.jpg)

I'll defer to Ringman for an expert opinion.

Roger that...I thought they looked more like a baked clay composite that had been formed into various vessels in the middle woodlands era..but your right, I should consult Ringman before touting further pics.

The Ringman reference was tongue-in-cheek.

The Ringman reference was tongue-in-cheek. Ohh, sorry I didn't catch that. Was going to ask him to view these shards through various glass, at sunset, and determine by resolution if they were pottery, or in fact fossils...are you saying to skip that rigorous testing? Or maybe see if they could be exploded with a double charge of Bluedot proving they are actually modern pottery. I agree with post after yours, better not even to invoke the name lest this, perhaps the sole pure thread on the fire become tainted.

Anyone ever found any Indian trade beads? Yes. Found a few when I was a kid. Both blue. Found a primitive turquoise ground flat bead as well. Found most of them in or around red ant beds.
