Indian Rocks

[jhwis]

The Vikings got here in 1961. They’ve had a lot of ruins since then, but the runes are at 401Chicago Ave. It’s actually the site of the last runes which is a bit up river from the first runes.

Well played, My Friend...Well played.

Thought they came a little earlier than 1961

I found a bunch of rocks that I think was used be the Indians. Black stones that you try around in your hands and they will fit in your hand. I don't know what they're used for. They're all in one big spot that looks like it could have been a high spot of a lake at one time or other.

Probably bone crushers used to get the marrow out of the bone. I have something similar that is triangular and fits in my hand and was identified as such. I will try to get a picture later.

My Dad had an extensive collection of Indian arrowheads. One of our fields was a raised area surrounded by wetlands on 3 sides. We always referred to it as the island. We believe it was a Native American habitat, as it was full of arrowheads. Dad used to find them all the time when farming that field. My brother owns the property now and has a winery where that field used to be. Many of Dad's arrowheads are on display there.

That's pretty neat. You should post some pics of the arrowheads.

Dad found numerous arrow heads when he farmed. He also had several stone hammers as well as a pipe carved from Pipestone. Yes there is a place in Minnesota that has a quarry for that type of stone. Real easy to carve. Called the Pipestone National Monument located in Pipestone MN. Only Indian tribes are now allowed to use this stone.

I haven't found any arrow heads here, just all size ones that fit in your hands. My father in law was 2 mile's south of me not too far from the Grand river found a milk bucket full, which I think my nephew has them now.

A few. View attachment 140162

You can sure tell the people that are just starting to make arrow heads. You have a expert maker in the middle. Just think of the ones you missed and are still out there. That is a good collection. Stan

Have several bags of them. These are the best. An arrow head expert says the one at 4 o’clock to center one (smaller one) is over 5000 years old. Said it was done by Paleo Indians. I have no idea.

Just about every farm around here has a collection of Indian bowls, arrow heads and other items used by the past people. Dad had had a few. I have no idea why they left years ago. What do you have? Stan

 

[Jim Hanson]

Quite a few grampa and great uncle found following a horse

Here’s a few I’ve collected over the years.

Have been told (an makes some sense) the almost ones are the ones that chipped wrong during knaping an were tossed aside
Would imagine for every good one there were several that didn't turn out as planned
