Hunting For Arrowheads And Artifacts

It was called Pindertown, a large Indian settlement on the flint river. I’ve read that the white settlers “convinced” them to sell the land. It was also on a stagecoach / mail route from Hawkinsville
My boss says the banks of the river were cut there providing a stage coach crossing. He and a local lawyer got permission to go exploring the area several years ago.
 
I've found a few artifacts over the years in plowed up food plots and fields.

colts colts I found the axe head close to your place.

Anybody ever found a mortise and pestle?
I found one like this, but a little fatter. Found north of Rome a couple decades ago. We found many arrow heads back then. I had a nice collection at one point, but I got married and had kids, not sure where that stuff is these days lol!

The stage coach road did not cross the river. It continued south to Tallahassee on the east side of the river according to the Worth county history book I have. There was another Indian town on the west side of the Flint near Palmyra.
 
I found these about a hundred feet behind my house in a fifty foot square area. There are lots of chips so I'm guessing this was and established settlement. The grind stone is about four ponds and has finger grooves that fit your hand perfectly. It is made out of limestone. You can see the sea shells in it . There are no limestone outcroppings that I know of within at least a hundred miles of where I live . It's a nice way to look back in time at how people lived.
