I don't know sic'em from suck'em when it comes to this kinda stuff, but, that looks like a hatchet head. Which I guess would be a tomahawk

Is this anything? A rock with a smooth hole in it and two that maybe look like arrowheads?

See if someone can explain this.
These rocks are stacked 2-3 ft high down the whole side of this mountain I guess you would call it. What could this be and who stacked these? You can tell they have been there a long time.

Not arrowheads.. looks like random limestone pieces to me. Artifacts will show flaking scars where the stone was worked with percussion strikes or pressure flaking. As for the big piece with holes, they are most likely the remnants of some sort of fossil that was left in the stone. Native Americans DID use dished out stones for grinding purposes but they normally do not go all the way through. No clue on the stacked rock formations, could be ancient or modern. Definitely looks like some good country though, I bet if you look hard enough there are plenty of artifacts in that area. Good luck to you!

Our place is in SE Mason County, and we have quite a few old rock fences as well. Not sure how old, but probably built in the last 100 years. We just like them because we know they were built by our family. We make sure dozers go around them and not destroy them.

bet they were little ****s for a spring. Terraced water sources..

It's weird bc it's on the top part of the mountain, not towards the bottom to catch water flow or anything.
I was thinking maybe a home made fence to keep cattle from walking down the mountain??
Or if it was made a long time ago maybe a place for protection other incoming Indians firing or a place to hide for hunting. I have no idea just thinking outside the box.
Thanks for everyone's input.
I looked for hours to not find any arrowheads....

I've seen on the Yellowstone river where the natives had built a 3' rock wall running diagonally down the mountain towards the river. The kayak guide said that it funneled the animals off a small cliff when they chased them where other Indians were waiting.

That top one is a Montell... one below it is some type of biface blade, possibly a Covington. Nice finds!

That first one is a Comanche Pedernales... I have also seen people call them Austin Perds.
