i picked up the big piece one day and really liked how it fit in my hand with a place for my thumb too. A couple of days later the six year old comes back with the next biggest piece... a day or so later hmmm says I...i wonder if they fit together. After i put them together i notice a small chip missing. so I think to myself "i think i remember where these were found, i wonder if that last piece is still around...sure enough it was....so i get this nice broke knife/scrapper in three different hunts, not bad luck at all. probably broke by a wild horse stepping on it.

Way cool to find all 3 pieces, especially with the 3rd piece being so relatively small. I assume these would be trail or path finds, rather than beach, creek, or field finds? I dare say that very few people out there would have the knowledge or experience to have completed that lithic puzzle. Good job and HH.
