Fantastic finds! Definitely worked stone, broken tools of some sort. The colors of the agates are superb! Thank you for sharing the beauty!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thanks Gwynn! I just think that is so cool... Imagine where they've been! Just wow. Have a wonderful weekend!✨

Beautiful red agates and jaspers! This place is a paradise!!! Is incredible find those artifacts, imagine how old are and how people use it in their daily activities in the past!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

I know right! It just blows my mind. I feel blessed to have found these. This was for sure...my favorite place to hunt. I'll have to capture more of it for ya the next time I go. Thanks for watching and best wishes to you✨

[@silverback5033]

Gidayyy 😜Marlaina, well that looks like you had a good day at the river, some pretty nice looking chalcedony,carnelians & agates, some interesting quartz pieces and then boom, a group of great looking jaspers, wow then follow that up with some possible artefacts. I should have started with looks like you had a great day. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thanks! The day did not disappoint. Probably one of my favorite trips to the river. Can't wait to tumble that deep red carnelian🔥 Cheers and best wishes✨

[@sandmaker]

I think you picked the right place to go pickin'. Wow what an assortment. Beautiful carnelian and jaspers. I see cutting, slabing and cabbing in your future. I think the two artifacts have been worked. I think the small one is a knife and the large one knife or skin scraper. What a productive and hopefully fun day you had! Keep the goodness coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Oh I wish I would have captured more of this place for you. It was such a fun day. But I had to cross the river to get to the "good spot" and it was too deep to risk my phone... so my friend held onto it and managed to catch a few shots of me haha. I appreciate you watching as always and thanks for the info... I think those are in my top 5 of the coolest treasures I've ever found... mind blown. Have a great week✨

[@moonstruck581]

So many stunners and the Carnelians, 🤩

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thanks Heather!💫

[@elleisme8565]

Sweet 🤩

[@justjulee9135]

I loved the beautiful carnelians! And, I think you have two scrapers. At least they look like it to me. Definite work on those edges!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thanks Julee! I knew there would be people to help on this! Appreciate the feedback a lot. Best wishes for a wonderful week! Cheers✨

[@kylaabegglen1275]

Cool finds! I think you're right on the broken arrowhead and I think the big one is a scraper. They used them mainly to scrape the fat layer and gross stuff off of the hides to be dried out for blankets and clothing. Very awesome! Thanks for sharing Marlaina!✌️🤠

[@MarlainaAtkins]

How flippin cool is that... Thanks for the info!🙌 My mind is blown. I hope you have a wonderful week. Best wishes✨

[@CityRockhounding]

Wow, these are all gorgeous finds! Amazing agates jasper and those both look like they are worked, so cool. I've been hoping to find my first artifact! Thanks for sharing your beautiful finds on the river. River Rockhounding is so much fun and peaceful! Thanks for your support too!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

You bet!💫 Thanks for yours! Those were my first artifact finds! So cool. My husband has found a scraper before but this was my first for sure. Sending vibes that you will someday too! Cheers✨

[@CityRockhounding]

@@MarlainaAtkins that's awesome and thank you!

[@OregonRocks]

Beautiful Agates!!!

[@RagnarRocks]

Whhhhhhhhhaaaaaatttt! That artifact @1:49 is definitely worked and its a broke knife blade! Amazing! The other one is a pre-form or maybe a worn down scraper. That carnelian you find is out of control! ❤🐢

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Whhhhhhaaaaatttt! A broken knife blade! How sick is that!!! I would have never thought. How flippin cool. I can't believe I found that. Thank you so much for your knowledge on this... I'm still learning a lot when it comes to artifacts. Cheers my friend!💫

[@j.ericswede7084]

What a haul! Great variety and I think those last two were formed by Indians as cutting tools of some sort.

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thank you! That is too cool✨

[@scottishgirloutdoors2662]

Love these 😍 hope you're doing good 😊

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thank you! I'm doing well. You've actually been in my thoughts! Hope you're doing well too☺💫 Still waiting to hear from our friend... It's been awhile😥

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thank you Wil! The one with the banding is going on my top shelf 😄 I still carry the one I got from you with me everyday in my special pouch😉 Cheers my friend

[@wilbondcajunrockhound5758]

@@MarlainaAtkins that was deff a top shelf piece you found , and im glad you liked the piece i sent i still can hear your voice when you opened it up , one of my favorite rocks i done , just the way it came out . but i knew it belonged with the carnelian queen

[@pennyholley4539]

Beautiful finds!!!! The colors of those agates!!!! Jaspers are stunners too!!!! I have a weak heart for quartz, don’t know why but I love the stuff!!! Your river is amazing!!!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thank you! Me too! I feel like quartz is so underrated... It's such a beautiful mineral! Much love💫

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

Those are beautiful finds

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thank you!☀

[@upnorthadventureswithccc]

Marlaina your finds are awesome ! Love the glow on the agates. Jasper in your area is beautiful. Got to love the pet wood. I also find rocks that I question, hmm are you a artifact or just a chipped up rock. If one only knew for sure ! Thanks for sharing 😊👍

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thanks Cheryl! The agates were even glowing in the water... Like a little beacon... Here I am! 😄 It was so cool. And it wasn't till I got home and was cleaning my finds when I realized I might have found some artifacts. Still not 100 but it's going on the shelf of possibilities lol. Thanks again... It's good to hear from you! Cheers✨

[@largent45]

So many cool finds but that possible arrowhead looks way too big, but definitely worked! maybe a large spear point? Not sure, but definitely an artifact, and the other looks like maybe a large scraper or preform. Its not work to a sharp edge but it could be just worn down. The man to ask is ontario rockhound. He knows points! And the rest of your finds are really cool. The agates and jaspers are awesome but the pet wood steals the show in my book! So cool!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

A large spear point😃.... I didn't even think of that. I can totally see that! Thank you so much for the feedback... My knowledge on artifacts is slim. I appreciate it so very much. I just can't believe I'm holding something so precious... imagine where it's been and with whom... and what it's gone thru... Just amazing! Cheers🙌

[@largent45]

@@MarlainaAtkins Thats exactly what i think of when i see any artifact! And same with fossils! Thats why i love fossils so much and why pet wood is my favorite! Millions of years that it took for a tree to become a rock! If you havent heard from aiden already from ontario rockhound, i let him know about your artifacts and asked him for help. I hope you dont mind!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

@@largent45 so fascinating!🙌 And I don't mind at all! Truly appreciate it💫

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

Awesome finds, for those peices that you think are artifacts I can confirm that the 2nd peice for sure is one, it's a scraper, and the 1st peice I think is one too, flake tool, but flakes like the 1st if they are found in creeks you have to take them with a grain of salt as that chipping could occur by the flake tumbling in the creek, but the 2nd is a foresure artifact!

[@largent45]

Thank you!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

That is SO COOL!!! Thank you thank you for your thoughts. I'm still learning a lot when it comes to identifying artifacts so I truly appreciate any knowledge. I had to look up what a flake tool was😅... But now I know and I see it! Much much appreciated. Best wishes to you!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

@@largent45 Thank YOU too!💫

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

@@MarlainaAtkins no problem happy to help out!

[@jeffwomack5821]

Okay, I am jealous and envious. The artifacts have too much pattern to be made by nature. The first one looked like it would be used to process the game because of the curve and the second one looked loke a scraper. I plan on going to the Rock and Mineral Museum in Hillsboro in the next two weeks maybe they can give me a positive ID on them

[@MarlainaAtkins]

I agree. I know the river can do some work on stones... But these seem too precise and intentional. I'm always up for a more experienced opinion... Thank you for your input. I would love to hear what they say too. Appreciate you checking it out! Cheers✨

[@rawdawgpendants5490]

Nice finds Mar, love the carnelian. Ive been working on pyramids and will start having a ton of scraps perfect for tumbling. Ive been thinking about making 20 dollar bags for tumbling. I did well with the sapphire bags i put 2 sapphires, a ruby a bunch of good garnet and quarts crystals and some kayanite in each bag for 25.

[@MarlainaAtkins]

That's a great idea! Do it! Would love to see how your pyramids turn out. I need a flat lap SO BAD!!!

[@thirstfast1025]

Some of that carnelian is just beautiful hey? I'm no expert on tools, so I don't know. I see why you think it looks worked, I would too. Cheers M! 🐺

[@MarlainaAtkins]

So beautiful... I just wish I didn't have to travel so far to get it 😆 lol I'm still learning so much about artifacts... Figured I'd better throw it out there and see if I could learn something 🐺🐾

[@Ken_G.]

If the first one is, it could be a broken spear head or a scraper that is missing just a little bit off of each end. That second one is a reach, I'd say no. Pretty rocks though.

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thanks Ken! I'd have to say I agree with you... the more and more I think about it I'd have to say no with the second one as well. I appreciate the feedback. Have a wonderful week!✨

[@jas57264]

The two "artifacts" appear to be scrapers. Definite signs of flaking/chipping on the edges. They appear to be re-worked pieces that may have begun their lives as blades.

[@MarlainaAtkins]

That...is so cool... Thank you for your input! I appreciate it immensely. Cheers✨
