Artifacts and questions on others

[gander]

Was down in Webb County last weekend with a buddy. We turkey hunted and bass fished a bit but mainly artifact hunted. Found alot of brokes, alot of 50 cal slugs from World War 2 practice and a couple whole points. This is what I found. My question is, what are the last big deal? The two smaller ones have grooves completely around them and the other I have no clue what it is, if anything other than an interesting shaped rock.

At a glance they look like grooved mauls but on closer inspection, they may be natural sedimentary stone with sifter layers eroding out. I can't definitively say I see alteration.

I can't see the broken points well enough except I see a couple catan or Matamoris triangles.

Those with the grooves are ball peen hammers. I'm not gonna comment on that last one!

Those 50 caliber rounds, are probably from the old Navy bombing/practice range. We used to hunt on a place outside of Encinal, back in the 80s. Navy planes used to fly over all the time, breaking the sound barrier, flying low hauling ***. We were told the Navy had a bombing range that was not far away. Back then the Navy was still flying F4 Phantoms, one of my favorite planes. Multiple times I would be walking around looking for critters to shoot, and a pair of F4s would go streaking over, after they went over sometimes there was a nice boom. The sound from the planes, was always, trailing way behind them. On occasions, we would see some Blue Angles fly over, at the time, the Blue Angles were also flying F4s.

I don't know if the Navy still has a practice range out in that area, have not spent any time down there in years.

You must have been on or near the Callahan Ranch. Those .50 caliber rounds are from WWII machine gun training that was done in the area.

Not the Callahan, and I'm not sure how far the Callahan is from here. I had always been told these are from fighter planes training because of the runway and hangar they have on the place from that era.

I found several 50 cal projectiles and a few cases on the Galvan Ranch when I had a lease there.
