    Bone Tool Found

    This is the first of this type of relic I have ever found. It is the diameter of a pencil about 2 inches long. Any ideas?

    More than likely the top, or base, off of an engraved Bone Awl.

    I agree with Steve, but if it seems to be very well made and polished up top it might have also been what is commonly called a hairpin.

    I don't know why I didn't think of that Joshua. Being as decorated as it is, it probably was a Hairpin. Good call.

    Dang that's nice!
    I'll say it again, I've seen museums without bone artifacts. Excellent find and a real treasure.

    Awesome find!!! I would start at the spot where I found it and work an ever widening circle out to see if there are more items like that. Thanks for sharing it.
