Indian Related??

[pjroo33]

Well I haven't been out mental detecting in a long time as we've bought ourselves a "fixer upper" and I've been spending all of my free time working on the house. We recently had a landscaping crew come out and rough grade our property before laying seed and fertilizer. Anyways, this came out of the ground when they graded the soil and I thought it looked possibly indian related. The notches are very smooth and seem hand made. Could this just be a simple rock and my mind got the best of me??

Sure looks like the real deal hammer to me.

No expert here, but I'd say artifact. Good eye and congratulations.

Looks like a half groove hammer to me. Post it in the North American Indian Artifact forum here for conformation.

You Sir, have a "celt" in my humble opinion. Very possibly Native American. Congratulations. Sub

People post weird rocks all the time and then get all prickly when told its not man made.... but you have the real deal sweet find.

I have found quite a few of these, and it's def. Native American, nice find! Check around, there's sure to be more. HH.

I would say axe. But still cool

 

[Ohio_Doug]

Most definitely an artifact. My guess would be a hammer of sorts. Great find!

Nice One, That's a great hammer!!

It for sure isn't a celt!

 

[choo]

That's a half grooved axe!

Well I do appreciate all of the information. I'm really surprised that an indian artifact would come out of this yard. Now I wish I'd looked through all of the dirt they turned over before they laid down new top soil. Think there's a chance there could be more stuff below the surface??

 

[jmaschal]

Good chance

That's an axe for sure it took me almost 20 years before I found my first ....chances are there is some great artifacts near by I would deff spend more time looking u should atleast find some arrowheads or other artifacts

 

[Mrdigz]

That's awesome!!! I would have told them to come back in a couple of days so I could search the rest of the property!! Haha

Time to put in a garden and a pool and.........

 

[sandchip]

Took the words right outta my mouth. Make the entire yard gardens, flowerbeds, etc.!

Dang good find. All the ones I have found are either rough or broken and no groove. Good eye to see it.
