Hey everyone I usually post on today's finds but I have recently found this in a box of broken bits and pieces. I found it on the Potomac river a couple years back I thought maybe some type of drill or maybe fishing related, or maybe nothing at all. Thanks for looking
Looks broken by the stem but if whole I would say it looked like a drill type of thing. I like going back through my debitage bucket for a 2nd look before dumping it after a year or so. Find some interesting things sometimes.
Okay, I have to ask this first. Is it entirely made of stone? It looks like it might be a small nail that has some kind of concretion starting to form around it.
Here are two I found in Nevada, they appear to be for poking holes in leather for sewing. They are not an unfinished point, they were obviously made that way for a reason. Richeyed find
appears to be the same type of thing.
