Still trying to decide between agate basin or wadlow blade or possibly a sedalia>> Also found nearby a few hundred yards years ago were some broken gorgets and a very small hematite celt.

      That is a beautiful big blade. Thanks for showing it. Is it about 6 3/4 inches long?

        It is right at 7 inches long . Tried to put some artifacts found nearby to possibly help with ID. After 42 years of searching could not be more pleased to have connected with such a blade. It has rejuvenated my spirit! Never say never.

          In my humble opinion, it looks more like an Agate Basin. Don't the Wadlows tend to have a broad base? The Agates taper as they go down which yours seems to do. Super thin, well made. Looks like from the pic a little grinding in the hafting area? Seems smoother there, a little more serrations higher up. I know others might disagree, but that's my two cents. Those broken gorgets are interesting as well. A few years ago before I was into hunting, just by chance I found something that I though might be either a slate roof tile or a gorget. Put it in my car. Went to look for it later and my wife said "that muddy rock? I threw that out." Who knows, probably was just a shingle.

            Same site my ex brother in law found a slate hole and half rectangular gorget and approx. year later i found the same other half, took it to his house and they were a perfect match! sadly his collection was stolen a few years past and is lost to me.Thanks for your opinion Flintguy btw it does have grinding about 1/3 of the way at the base and edges.
