Strange how when I posted it in the "what is it" forum, one of you said it was river cobble and if I had a truck and trailer I could come up to his neck of the woods and he'd fill it up for me!

The last photo looks like the artifact has been ground smooth a little bit. And round 1 handed manos are common in the Southwest.

Please keep your accusation to the proper post. The last photo above does show the worked flat edge, but I don't understand why you have to add other non-related artifacts to prove the point?

Not an accusation at all, more of an observation. I'm pretty sure it was your comment about how if I wanted a bunch of rocks I can come up where you live and get a trailer full of them. I think that probably motivated me. I wasn't just picking up rocks anywhere, I was in an area that I had found other artifacts. A few I had some question about. I believe your comment was a little rude ESPECIALLY when you just said it was a Mano for sure, nice find on another forum. That's all!! I have always respected your opinion as well as plenty of other people on here and I have always been very respectful. I'm not normally a ***** but sometimes it happens .

That is because on the what is it forum you did not post this picture below, nothing in the pictures on what is it forum said artifact.

This is only one shown that shows signs of use on either forum I see.

The last piece looks like it could be a pestle. Id look for wear around the rounded end.
