Nice finds the square blade is killer , on the point is the one ear broken off or does it look like it never had one ? Maybe a Pipe Creek if that’s the case

Thanks arrow! I am pretty sure the ear is broken off, its pretty tumbled, but it still will be making my case :)

Good to see I’m not the only one that stares at my recent finds while driving [emoji51]
Also I wonder if that could have been a chisel

You know, the more I look at it, that square piece may have been hafted--in the region where I put the arrows.

That was my first thought when I saw it ... that’s why I suggested possibly a chisel

You guys may be right. Could be like an Adze or flint celt etc.. The top in this picture could actually be the bit etc.. I am not sure.

I’m not sure it’s thick or heavy enough to be an Adze. Can you show a profile and a head on shot of the bit? Either it’s a nice piece. Congrats.

Based on those photo’s i’d say it’s surely a knife and not a wood working tool like a Celt or adze. Still a nice find.
