Hit the fields for a few hours after work. Overcast sky's and my eye on a field I had not been in had me thinking of big finds.

Drizzle started after being in the field only for a short time. That I thought was good, even in low 40s temps with a strong wind. Full head gear, gloves and ear muffs sort of temps.

A lot of corn stubble kept the finds low I think. I am think an amazing point is in there somewhere. The field directly on the other side produced the tie on banner last year and a very nice cobbs a number of years back.


First scraper
You can see a small mineralization pebble on the front

Another pebble of mineralization on the back area

The second thumb scraper is smaller and made of the same material - Harrison County Flint, but has a more tan color due to the patina.
A very pronounced burin on the back of the tool area

cool. Are you sure they are not just reduction flakes? The reason I ask is the lacking of secondary edge work. Hard to tell in pics though. Stay safe out there!

Yes I am 100% sure they are thumb scrapers, no doubt. There is edge work.
