they didn't have tops, a plummet will have the top, grooved for attaching cordage Noticed the bolas have the small end knocked off. This one too. Looks like 2-7 ounces is the size of choice. Seems like a good throwing weight. Apparently a central Florida artifact. Never seen such up here in Georgia. Plummets up here though. Mortar and pestles common up here. Find an out of place creek worn 4-9 ounce pebble on a hill with the small face(s) ground and be sure it is a pestle or hand grinder. After finding many at camp sites it kinda guarantees it. Got a box full of them. Other trinkets found up here in camps is clear quartz, quartz crystals, hematite, soap stone, imported flint, mortars, etc. Find a single chip of flint and call it an artifact around Atlanta. Not but one way it got here. Black flint from NW Georgia, coastal chert from middle Georgia. Find both in one camp and know the occupants had some diverse travel routes. No brainer. Only found one coral point at Ocala Nat Forest area. Most is central ridge chert. Ugly

Long since sold this 35HP Devil. Warren at Go Devil help me set this one up. Do you know what the two tubes mounted on the stern vertically are for ?Never liked this boat in shoal water, hull was 1000 pounds. Too dang heavy. Maybe for mounting a swim platform? Torpedo tubes to hold fishing poles while trolling?

rockpickerforever Those are for digging canals. Illegal to prop wash canals in many states now because it stirs up ground pollution in soil. Two schedule 80 one inch pipes are slid down till they hit the bottom. Lower the prop in the water and it moves like 4 feet of sand in seconds. basically a brake, so you can use the prop to make canals or make holes in the bottom of shallow water ways. i think that practice is still legal in Louisiana.

Piece of Chert looks to be a Hammerstone. They were used for the flint knapping process. Check out Flintknappingtips on U-Tube for demo !
