Axes, Hoes, Celts, & grinding Stone

[fossis]

Here are more of my 30 year Collection,

Grooved axes, large one from southern Indiana, some of my wife's folks were killed by Shawnee Indians, (Scott co), there is a large monument, called (pigeon roost) about 13 young people killed, before a man fought them off. not sure of the date.
the others are probably Caddo from OK & AR.
Celts, grooved axes, stemmed hoe (notice wear on end), & large hoe with wear on both ends.
Grinding stone & bowl were also local finds, plus chipped axes, white one from Mo. Fossis......................

The Bowl was purchased from an old timer, the stone , I found near where the bowl was found.
I once carried one, with help from a friend, about a half mile.

Thanks, I waded mud ankle deep, where they were dozing for a park site, the stemmed hoe was in a pile of dirt(unscathed)
The large hoe was given to me by the man who owned the land where
the (big Tree) is located, on my post with Grandkids. Fossis.........

Fossis................

I carried one about 1/3 of a mile down some good old Illinois bluffs. Trips like those help you appreciate your finds a little more . Very nice finds again Fossis. and thank you so much for sharing with us.
