todays finds

[bedwards]

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the rectangular stone in the picture might be and what it might have been used for? I found it today while surface hunting along with a couple of broken drills I think. I also found a couple of nice points a shame the good one was broken it has some very nice detail on it.

That broken one would have been nice! The rectangular piece looks like it might have been a square knife. Is it broken or whole?

Nice finds.

It is whole the piece is about 4 and ahalf to 5 inches long. If you look at the end of it on both ends it is diamond shaped and it will sit flat on all four sides.

Nice finds, In our area we find large hoes for hoeing corn, does it show wear on the ends?

Some cool stuff there. I don't think that the central piece is anything though, it doesn't look like a very hard stone and it doesn't appear to have been worked either by flaking or grinding but then again I probably wouldn't be able to tell from a picture if it has been grinded at all...if it has been worked into that shape intentionally and isn't just a rock then I would guess that it would be some type of wood gouge or wood working tool.
