6/5/2011 ohio field hunt,monster celt find!!

[creek astronaut]

The plan for todays hunt was for choo and I to go kayaking/creekin since all of our spots were freshly plowed and needed rain.Mother nature changed our plans last nite with 3 to 4 inches of rain.The creeks were rippin this morning so we decided to hit one of choos honey holes and the hunt got off to a killer start within the first 30 minutes.The tapered celt is 7 and half inches long and in incredible condition(the pics do it no justice),it is highly polished on the whole piece except for the bit which leads me to believe it was never used,there was about 3 inches of one face exposed when I walked up on it I had the feeling I had a hardstone piece but had no idea until I flipped it out of the dirt,and to add icing to the cake, choo found a sweet 3 inch+ point 20 feet away from where I found the celt.I found 4 good points,the intrusive mound point is a beauty,2 hafted scrapers and a few endscrapers and blades,not to mention 20 brokes.It was a killer hunt and choo found some killer flint as well(thx bro for taking me to that spot today!!).good luck hunting everyone.

a banner find there, you dont find them that size anymore without some damage

 

[huntress104]

What an awesome find!!! I'll vote banner. It's a worthy piece for sure. Don't find'em like that everyday. That first point is a real dandy too.

 

[ShieldJaguar]

As banner worthy as I've seen in a while. Got my vote. Great find!

it doesn't get much better. can you take a close up of the bit? strange it wasn't polished. you are thinking ceremonial? maybe it just needed a good sharpening. i have seen several trophy axes that were intentionally not sharpened, but not a tapered hopewell celt like the one you found. congrats and continued success! ps are you going to bennett's picnic this weekend? see my previous post. brian.

 

[choo]

Hey Creek I cant believe that celt isnt up on the banner yet. whats up with that.
