This is the second piece, same creek, same area within 20 yards that I found what looks like tool made out of the same material. This has a couple of breaks on each end and maybe a chip off of the top, but does some of that look like it’s worked by man to you? When I imagine the shape without the tip breaks I picture a preform. There is an inclusion that looks like may have frustrated a maker...in my rookie analysis..lol. Thoughts?

Looks to be some type of hand tool (possible scraper) with a little ancient damage. Need a picture of the other side.Last edited by antmike915; 07-21-2020, 10:29 PM.🐜 🎤 SW Georgia -

Thanks Griff, looks like one they were attempting but couldn't get it right. They probably discarded it. Then again they could have used it as it was as a tool or blade. It's a cool piece.🐜 🎤 SW GeorgiaComment

Thank you so much! I’m excited because it is literally feet from where I found another and I bet this little creek is walked daily by park goers.Hunting in Central OhioComment

Because it has heavy edge wear ,above and beyond Smoothing preparation for knapping, it’s a knife/chopper type tool, nice find, keep working that creekFloridaboy.Comment

Not sure you will get a positive ID Griff as to what it was but can say it was manipulated by ancient man. Material is Coshocton Black.Near the PA/Ohio state lineComment
