I walked some local fields today for over 5 hours. As usual I only came home with head scratchers and agates. Even so, the 5+ hours felt like about 1 hour. Time really got away from me. At least if I didn't look I would not find anything so I gave it a chance.
I wondered if anyone could shed some light on this piece of slate. It's clearly not naturally shaped but my suspicion is it is modern and not ancient as I have never seen a slate artifact with this kind of shape. Especially the way the non-broken end is perfectly flat doesn't look like any artifact I have ever seen. What do you think, should I use it to level my dryer?
Also I figure this piece of chert is probably natural but figured I would see if anyone can help me put it to rest. The biggest red flag on this one is that it has a pocket of quartz which would make this particular piece of material less than ideal. It does have a nice sharp edge that looks a little less accidental than other broken pieces I find.
Thanks for looking.
