SE Indiana. Help ID

This is part of my families farm collection that we understand came from the fields after it was plowed. Location is Franklin Co. INDIANA which is SE. It's completely flat. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance! 😘

Do you think you could take a couple of close ups of the tan coloured, serrated point that is left of the gorgets? It's a real humdinger.

Not really sure what it is either ???? Y’all sure do have a lot of hard stone up that way !! That’s awesome

Idk about the one in your hand but there are some nice Celts ,
Adze, drills . And points ..You should post those tools under the tool thread Chase has going .

Wow pretty cool looking artifact it does look to be pecked to form. It looks too big to be a Bannerstone preform. When I first saw it I thought it might be a Scythe honing stone . Take a look at how similar the shape is. http://www.hardwarefy.com/truper-sha...-scythe-11669/
It may be an expanded center gorget preform.

I sent a private message to Don Ham on FB asking him and he thought it could be a gorget preform but wasn't sure either!

Nice Hoss . I was thinking grinding but to much to learn yet .

Thanks for sharing. Axes, pestles, gorgets. Wow

[Hi-Lo]

That's a fantastic family farm collection. Thank you for sharing.

Nice variety of artifacts. Is that a hammer just to the right of the pestle? Looks like a rock stacked on another.

How long a timeframe are we looking at for y'all to collect these?

[Indiana74]

My step dad found them all in the dirt floor when he moved in during the late 70's! They we're in boxes that had decayed away over the years. He had no idea until he started digging when he decided to make the basement floor concrete. We had previous owners children and grandchildren ask to see the house and chitchat over the years but all they ever said was the artifacts we're found for years when plowing for crops so we don't really have a time frame of how long it took the previous owners to obtain all of them. I hunt the fields every year and find two or three myself!

Nice thanks for sharing

That is pretty cool and quite a bit of hardstone.

I wonder if it wasn't a tool to make those axes. Seems like it would be useful in making grooves.
