My family owns land in North Carolina. After every farming season we used to go and hunt for Indian atifacts. These are just a few of many I have. The first pic is of stone arrowheads and one made out of a material I do not know. It is green, but that is all I can say. The other is some sort of stone pottery or stone carving with the image of the sun. I just found out that these items are from the Tuscarura Tribe not the Cherokee. They were the Native Americans on the land of my family.

Ya, NC is such an awsome state. I have never had them looked at before. As a matter of fact I have never even looked at the value of arrowheads. Just to think some go for that high is wild. I have always wondered how old these actually were. Thanks for looking.
how big is that flat piece, the non arrowhead
It is the size of a grown persons hand without fingers. Like the palm of your hand.
those grooves kinda look like they were carved from repetitive use...like maybe it was part of a cutting board or something. i dunno, just a guess
I've found something very similar in along a river bank in Greenville, SC. Agree with geekasaurus about the repetitive use. Appears to be an abrading stone (sharpener) which were highly prized. Mine is almost worn in two.
