Hello !! Here's a few of my favorite finds. I just love the hunt....but the find is pretty awesome too !!!
The top relic is "Sinew Stone" - used to split fibrous materials such as Sinew (animal tendons), Yucca and other various plants. The fibers were then used to make such things as rope, baskets, clothing, sewing thread, and strapping.
Below the Sinew Stone is a Paleo pick axe, or digging tool.
The "worm" looking item is 13 1/2"L x 3 1/4" tall x 2 1/2" wide. It ways over 13 lbs. I believe it is ceremonial, but it could have been used as a maul. There are obvious
hafting indentions showing it was affixed to a handle...a big one.
The arrowhead is an Archaic side-notched dart, made from black flint. That's my opinion anyway. I looked through my books, and online, and couldn't pinpoint
the exact tag for it. Any opinions would be great.
