It's been fun finding larger pottery shards than I normally do and everyone knows I rarely find stone artifacts but today I found a pretty little tip of something and the way it's broke on the side makes me think it maybe from a knife or blade, it's super thin too. Found this yesterday when I raked thru some sand in a sand/pebble bar, I think it's a rim. Outside view WP_20180224_002.jpg Inside view WP_20180224_003.jpg

Here are today's finds including the one from yesterday for size comparison. I used the inside part of today's pottery for the background of the broken tip.

The bottom looks broke off, I'll try to get a better pic tomorrow in natural light. This is going to be one of those that I hope the rest of it washes out at some point lol

Lots of good finds this week. I wonder if everybody is getting the warm trend like me and lots of rain?
That flint looks like a good quality material shame its missing the base.
