A wise man once told me to keep on digging

[Ozarksrockturner]

So far I've struck out finding alot of interesting rocks that have turned out to be natural formations but I think this might be the beginning of a really fun hobby.

 

[Peyton Manning]

correct material and I think it shows signs of being worked

 

[jmaschal]

Definitely keep it up... and you are right great hobby. Rewarding and educational. Best of luck!

That piece has definitely been altered by the hand if man. Either a really rough Blank/Preform or possible Chopper used to break open bones to get marrow.

Battle Axe.....nice.









Mine is a little dull from overuse, wanna trade?

 

[Old Pueblo]

Definitely a tool there. Good find. I cant say what it is but a scraper or axe are good guesses I think.

 

[arrow86]

Nice find could be small chopper / axe but most will prob classify it as a blank or preform

 

[junkhunt]

Lots of odd looking rocks here in Arkansas. And have no idea what they are other than rocks.

Reminds me of a hoe blade.

Reminds me of a hoe blade.

If so it was never used as one. It shows no polish that is always present on Hoes with extensive usage.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Grim is spot on, it it was used as a hoe it sould have some polish on the tip, could have been used as a chopper, more likely a preform.

 

[Goldfinger450]

Yep like Treasure Hunter I think it is an un-finished piece...

You got it this time! Great material and both pieces have been worked by human hands! Congratulations, keep it up!

Both pieces are the same piece, both sides of same piece.

Thanks everyone I appreciate the feedback hopefully more to come.

that form has been made on every continent (well, not Antarctica), by every humanoid group for over a million years. very nice utilitarian find...if that is a finished tool it would be a hand ax.

Same thing I thought

 

[rginn]

Grim is spot on, it it was used as a hoe it sould have some polish on the tip, could have been used as a chopper, more likely a preform.

I never said it was a finished hoe blade that was used every day, just that it reminded me of one. To speculate, it's a pre-form that could have taken many directions after further work.

The wise man was right!
