Found this stone at the confluence of two central PA streams while fishing in an area that had well-documented native american settlements. I have asked several friends and have gotten several different answers.

Chisel? Adze? Whetstone? Just a rock?

Welcome . You will probably get several more different answers here. Looks like a wet stone to me.TN formerly CT Visit our store http://stores.arrowheads.com/store.p...m-Trading-Post

Welcome Sy. Geologic process and running water can really perform some miracles. I would have grabbed it also for further examination but I agree with Hoss. Cool as heck geofact though...great convo piece. Just what swims in those central PA streams anyway?The chase is better than the catch...

If you don't mind Stan. Here is a wet stone I found when I was young. Though it could very well be Native. It could also have been used to sharpen or true the edge of a Scythes and Cycles in the field by a farmer. Notice the high polish. Kim

I don't mind at all, but that doesn't look much like a whetstone either, it looks too smooth, soft and waxy, no grain to sharpen. Of course I may be totally wrong, not seeing it in hand. It certainly has been used for something though. It almost has a soapstone look to it.
