The rains have been very good for me lately..... I found this today in Central California. It's absolutely perfect! It's 4 1/4" long and made from Monterey Chert. There's a fair amount of caliche adhering to one side, but I figure I won't scrub it off. I'm pretty stoked! Any ideas as to style, age, and value?? (I also posted this in the Native American section.......)

Thanks,

Rick

Super find and I would not clean off the caliche if it was mine. If you ever decide to get a certificate of authentication it would make a nice center piece in a display...
