Still get a thrill out of finding a well made tool. My wife found this one back in Aug. of 2004.

[Ron Kelley]

Real nice scraper.

Boy that's a keeper for sure. I only found the one in that style I posted earlier all year and probably the last 3 years as a matter of fact. Very rare for my area. Mostly flake knives here as you can see in the 1st page.

Woi !!!

[SurfaceHunter]

Well I'd have to say there has been a large amount of tools posted and I've really enjoyed viewing all of them. Thanks so much

[Cecilia]

Thank you for starting such an incredible thread! I saw so many things never seen before, not even in my books!

[Emaner377]

What do yall think of this one? It has work all over it..teally big and heavy..chopper?

[SurfaceHunter]

Hard to tell if there is edge work or not on that one.

[SurfaceHunter]

Here you go Kaleb it was right under your post.

[Emaner377]

Do y'all think this could be a drill? Looks worked to me..interesting inclusion in the middle

[SurfaceHunter]

I got my feet wet today finally but didn't find anything but 2 flakes of quartz.

[Cecilia]

I love drills, perforators, gravers; maybe coz clearer, more distinctive, easier for this novice to think tool!

[redrocks]

Sure looks like a drill...nice one eman

[SurfaceHunter]

Looks worked to me I think a drill is a safe bet. Nice inclusion in the material. Pencil drill

[Emaner377]

Thanks guys and gals!

I have to admit as I'm just now getting into this hobby I'm starting to respect tools much more than I did. At first if it wasn't an arrowhead it didn't matter and I tossed it. Now if it's clearly a tool I'm more intrigued to understand how it was used. Here's one I kept and didn't give it any mind at all at the time but now going back and looking it's as awesome to me as a point. Don't know how old it is, what it's made of or what it was used for but I think it's pretty cool. Like most every piece that's posted on this site they could easily be put in a museum and more important to this country's history than 99% of what's in museums today.

I started out with opposite process: some of my rocks obviously deliberately shaped into something not points. I understood that rock been around eons and that someone other than me had picked it up in appreciation, and used it. Wow; that “someone” was from “before”....

I found this forum, and because of this forum, I now appreciate arrowheads!

[SurfaceHunter]

Even as nice that material is it could be a scraper or even a preform or a core. But I just save them all regardless. Makes for nice decoration putting them in bowls.
