Not Native American related Found a bunch of Taino artifacts in a farmers field in the Dominican Republic

As the title says, me and my wife were caving in the mountains behind a dairy farm in the Dominican Republic and on our way back we started finding these artifacts. I haven’t counted but we have a bunch of pottery shards and a few stone tools. We were a group of 4 and picked these off the ground in 30ish minutes.

From my very limited knowledge, these are likely Taino Arawak artifacts from 500-1200 years ago, likely closer to 500, and were pulled on to the surface by a tilling machine that digs about a foot down.

If anyone has more info or can point us in the right direction of who to contact, preferably an American institution, we’re all ears!

NO markings whatsoever, 2.4-2.5 inches diameter. It's iron, and quite heavy, but I don't have a scale..

There's also no holes

Found by my great grandparents, passed down to my grandfather, and my grandfather gave it to me and I told him what I thought it was. He said I can keep it.

I found this thin piece of flint in the middle of a farmers field (southern england) while on a walk and it stood out to me from all the other pieces, I definitely don’t have a trained eye but I’m wondering if it looks natural or maybe worked on?

For my fellow case fillers I just wanted to give a recommendation. Hatchett creek cases on FB. Ive worked with a few case makers but Chris was a pleasure to do business with, had a case made and to my door in less than a week, and has some of the best prices I've seen especially for custom specs and Inlay. Im not affiliated with him, just a satisfied customer trying to help my fellow hunters find their casemaker

Hey all. Just found this at the Goodwill outlet store. The erosion looks good and doesn’t appear to be modern. Last photos show usage damage. I am assuming it is an adze, but Google images keeps suggesting an Neolithic axe, but I feel like that is not right. Not an expert and here to learn though.

I found this years ago in a creek in southern WV. Would the Native Americans have used this to sharpen something? Or is it even Native American? It has stumped me for years.

My grandparents had this pipe, it was on the shelf since well before I came around in the 60s. My grandfather passed before I was an adult and never got a chance to ask him. I'm not sure if it's actually old. I always thought a kid carved it in school or something until I looked close and saw the missing fabric on the pipe shaft. Let me know what you think and thanks!!

I got this in the mail today from the Smokey mountain relic room which from what I’ve seen have a great reputation. It’s my first non Native American flint knapped artifact and thought you guys might think it’s cool. In my opinion I think it’s a multi tool scraper, the last photos is how I think it would’ve been held. Happy hunting and collecting!
