It's been pouring rain on and off for two weeks here in Ohio. I've been chomping at the bit to get out, but family and work comes first. Finally I had a small window this morning and snuck out for a bit. Pay dirt. Found in Franklin county Oh. In my humble opinion it looks like a knife or preform (Fort Ancient, Jacks reef or Hopewell side notch). However, it's a little large for that at 2.5 inches, so with some wishful thinking, I could see possibly it being a Cobbs knife? The vein running through it is completely transparent. Not sure if the second piece is anything, but looks like it could be a spoke shaver. Probably not but I did find it at the exact same time 2 feet away from the preform/blade. Good day.

Nice finds Flint...have you considered maybe a Decatur blade...I just did a quick search and the size and shape match up really close. Nice lithic also...The chase is better than the catch...

Its probably a lot older than 400 years. Anyway those triangles can be hard to nail down at times there were several that looked close but the size and wide distribution kinda swayed me toward Decatur. We have some darn good ID folks here. Maybe someone from Ohio can chime in...The chase is better than the catch...
