Great thread Bolen and some nice tools too! This should run a while. I will start with my best, a uniface scraper/knife I found some years back. Everyone that has hunted for any length should have a nice variety so lets see 'em.

Nice tools everyone.Love the drill Greg and the hafted end scraper I have a lot of those we call em blunts down here.Killer knives rmartin......rmartin the first one you posted,the white one is it a middle archaic piece?The flaking on it would put in in the middle archaic time period down here.Excuse my ignorance all I've ever collected was points and tools from the south east....Please post up your tools everyone I'm interested in seeing how similar tools from around the country are to ours here in the Fl,Ga. and Alabama area.

Keith, I think it is a bit older than Middle archaic. I found it washed out of a creek bank with a point I would say is Paleo. Not true context but close enough for me. I have posted it here a few times so not side track this thread here is a link to it.

Great thread! Enjoy seeing such great work, material, varieties.

Good show all around. I really like tools, the well made examples have more character and are more unique than points imo.
Some more from Ky. and In.

Man I love this thread. Everybody's pictures are awesome. Started thanking the ones a liked and soon realized I'd have to click em all. Have so many I'd like to put up but here's two favorites. First one is a knife I found, second one is a scraper "Whiskers". My son's first find with a possible asbestos inclusion (thanks again Roger) and fibers sticking out of the end, next to my ring in the picture.
