Native American Artifacts

Heres a cache blade from Florida.

Chert is rare in SC but looks cool. Referencing the knife.

Vertebra is from coastal SC. Pulled it out because Im curious: do western dudes get fossils like we do east of Mississippi?

Where I live now on the coast we get lots of mammal bones and shark stuff. When I was kid in Ohio it was all trilobites and limestone fossils. Everything rots here and the soil is ocean bottom so we don't get many artifacts until you go inland. I have a pottery shard around here somewhere.

Harmless nostalgia on the surface, but this is a bad idea in practice. Digging up or hoarding artifacts especially from public lands is often illegal, destroys context for real archaeology, and strips cultural heritage. Report legit finds to professionals instead of treating them like cool grandpa trinkets. Preserve the actual history, don't loot it.
