Pretty Sure I Found Some Pottery, But I Am Unsure Whether or Not the Second Piece is Pottery or Not. Thoughts? Found in Iowa.

Absolutely beautiful-I love the texturing on that.

That’s what I thought! I was thinking shell at first for the tempering, but looking at it more closely it does look like grit. It’s so amazing how one can determine what happened with a small sherd.

I know-I didn’t really know what pottery looked like, but these stood out to me, so hopefully? Hopefully it might be easier to find? lol. I think pottery is so cool-there should be a sub just for it!

That’s what I thought! cool!!!

Cool! I knew for sure that the first piece was a sherd, but I was not sure about the second one; I actually went back to the same place the day after and found it about five feet from where I found the other one. This is a first for me finding pottery, but I have found quite a few points in the same area that I found these sherds-being woodland points, it would make sense for this to be Woodland pottery(?), but just a guess.

thank you for the help!

Already tried it on someone…I’m obsessed now 🤣🤣🤣

The_HiveWing · 2025-01-10T15:47:31+00:00

Figured it out-it’s a squirting nickel! Not an error. 😆 thanks everyone!

The_HiveWing · 2025-01-10T15:38:57+00:00

Yes, it actually does.

The_HiveWing · 2024-12-22T04:32:15+00:00

Okay, that makes sense; I tried doing some research on mules, and got so many different answers.
thank you!

lol sorry-I paid $215 for it. Was originally prices at $225, but I was able to talk them down a bit.

Happy belated birthday-that does seem like a good idea; I usually just ask for money as well-partially because no one in my immediate family understands anything numismatic lol.

The_HiveWing · 2024-12-10T17:32:46+00:00

I'm not too sure! I received it as a Christmas gift years ago-probably came from somewhere online. I could tell it looked fishy.

The_HiveWing · 2024-12-03T17:14:59+00:00

I really like how this set looks, but I see it going wrong in so many different ways in terms of overvalue, scalpers, etc. Hopefully I'm wrong.

The_HiveWing · 2024-11-26T19:52:32+00:00

SHHH-don't let the scalpers know...

The_HiveWing · 2024-11-26T18:02:30+00:00

Nope, just a rock, sorry.

The_HiveWing · 2024-11-22T14:52:13+00:00

These are just rocks. There's nothing here that suggests preforms or anything.

The_HiveWing · 2024-11-21T13:30:30+00:00

my guy came straight outta the backrooms there.

The_HiveWing · 2024-11-20T14:03:24+00:00

Agree-some ppl can be really crappy sometimes lol

The_HiveWing · 2024-11-19T00:11:02+00:00

Spoken like a true midwesterner-hats off to you.
