Is this man made or am I just seeing things

[richeysd76]

Hey everyone I usually post on today's finds but I have recently found this in a box of broken bits and pieces. I found it on the Potomac river a couple years back I thought maybe some type of drill or maybe fishing related, or maybe nothing at all. Thanks for looking

Looks like something to me. A little punch/drill something. Neat find

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Looks like a point midway through completion or gave up for some reason..

 

[monsterrack]

That is a cool find and real hard to pin down, but a nice find

 

[Trooper733]

definitely looks like a debitage chip or drill or something worked by man to me also.

Looks broken by the stem but if whole I would say it looked like a drill type of thing. I like going back through my debitage bucket for a 2nd look before dumping it after a year or so. Find some interesting things sometimes.

Okay, I have to ask this first. Is it entirely made of stone? It looks like it might be a small nail that has some kind of concretion starting to form around it.

Piece never completed...

Here are two I found in Nevada, they appear to be for poking holes in leather for sewing. They are not an unfinished point, they were obviously made that way for a reason. Richeyed find
appears to be the same type of thing.

Definitely worked, I think not "unfinished", but rather an old broken point that has been reworked into an awl. Very cool.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Don't think Richeysd is same Bosnmate, yours are awl, Hus if you look has point and base but middle is unfinished, turned sideways it is thick..
