broken celt is still a great find...maybe the rest will show up next year...great find!

Nice find. If there’s one there’s likely more. Good luck!

I can’t see where it’s a broke artifact

Doesn't look broke to me either, regardless it's still a great find.

Added a couple of pictures to what I am assuming is the broke end. I may very well be wrong, open to learning why it may be that the end was not finished.

I don't think it is broken either, just a short, socketed celt. It may have been longer at one time and got ground down by sharpening.

Awesome....thanks everyone

That’s a sharp observation.
I believe I see rounded edges on the rear-end. I’ve not found one of these (broken or otherwise), but it is reasonable to believe it’s complete and possibly repaired/touched up after a break.
On a side note: I can only imagine the incredible force it would take to break one of these. Puzzling.
