Hey E man. Superb find ...congrats man .

[Emaner377]

Thanks Red! I walked right by it at first..thought it was a horseshoe crab tail! Then I did a double take!

[Cecilia]

This post made me reread my books on bone tools. There’s nothing like an object which makes illustrations real! Thank you!

[SDhunter]

That’s really nice

[Emaner377]

Cecilia

I certainly feel lucky as can be to have found it!

Just wanted to follow up with a few pics of the awl cleaned up and full in the image including the tip.
cleaned up you can see the patina better too

[sarahsue]

With that much polish, I would be checking the banks in that same area, for other artifacts...........if you can.

[redrocks]

Wow Eman. Just saw these cleaned up pics ....that thing is. Impeccable find man

[SurfaceHunter]

I’ve never found a bone awl before that’s a not every day find

Sarahsue
im going to be heading back for sure! I found this triangle about 20 yards from the awl 10 minutes earlier..cleaned up nice..too bad about missing the tip tho

[Cecilia]

O, my gosh! Love il’ greenie!

[Emaner377]

Hahahaa cool! I had to bleach that off!

What an artifact !! I have never seen anything like that . Can you explain the base of it .
is it a joint or carved out like that .

[Emaner377]

Tam
that is a joint..from what i have seen a lot of bone awls would be split right down the middle of that joint to make 2 awls..but they left this one whole!
