    Could possibly be weights for Native American (Indians) fishing nets These type nets were used for harvesting fish especially if found near bodies of water.

    When you contact ?authorities?, either don?t give them your name or don?t tell them where you found them. In a lot of places it?s a BIG no no to remove an artifact.

    That's why he specified that it was from private property, where there are not those restrictions.

    I think that is only for public lands.

    otherwise I would be onboard with some sort of fishing net weight as well.

    I'll go ahead and make the Native American Love Stones joke, even though they clearly are not.

    This is my take also. They're not fire starters

    I have a friend who's got 20 years of work with Indian affairs. I'll verify.

    Interesting book. My dad was one of the people who helped recover kennewick man

    I never worked in that area, but I go with net weights. Without surrounding artifacts it can be hard to tell.
