Good morning everyone! Got out yesterday no kids, no dog, just me so I was able to search the higher areas around my spot! The axe (or big scraper) I'm not sure due to the piece at the bottom but when I hold it in my had as pictured the area where my thumb is really smooth and has a slight indent ion where my thumb is!?! The other one has a small hole in the bottom.. Not sure why or if it was attached to something during use! Once again I thank you guys for you feedback and hopefully one day I'll be answering questions instead of asking!:icon_thumright:

Just friendly suggestion, don't look for rocks that fit your hand or get caught up in something fitting your hand and instead look for rocks that have flake work on them.

Signature ---> Trump 2016!

Why no Jesus tap dancing Christ? I realize it's unintended semi religious, but your signature is definitely political agenda! Just wondering as its one of my most used phrase.

The first rock has the banding of a nodule of hornstone (or some other type of grey nodule flint.) They are found broken like that, but I'd bet it's knapping waste from someone spalling an big nodule. (It looks to have some fractures, so they might have just wanted to clean off the cracked material to get to the better stuff inside.)

The second piece also looks like workable rock. Probably natural, but might be from some one knocking a corner of a block of chert to get down to better quality material.

Either way, where you have flint and chert in Kentucky, you usually have artifacts. Keep looking.

It violates our rules and is sacrilegious...... Also if anyone has issue with moderation please address it via PM, not in open forums.....

I have to agree with joshuaream looks like something that they nocked off a stone to get to the good stuff. There has to be a good artifact close by.:thumbsup:
