Rock, I took a photo of the 3rd pic which is the one I thought showed a small fracture line. After enlarging it it looks like it's just a small streak of darker material running through the lighter material. I apologize for my crappy eyesight...

Actually I got my loop out and there is a hairline crack looks to be just surface and doesnt go all the way around it. I will be careful with it.
 

Beautiful it looks like greenstone. I would think it will be ok if it has lasted this long. It has a real nice bit on it. Hardly any damage at all. Very good year it does look like!

Much nicer than my other one. The other is a dark brown so Im not sure what material it is made out of. Thanks for looking at it.
 

That is really awesome!
 

Congrats Rock! That is very well worked all around. That will look nice in one of your cases :) I love seeing old stone axes

Thanks I will locate me a hard stone case for sure. I looked up the Celt I believe it is a called a Excurvate Edge Celt. Doesnt give a age for it. Most of the artifacts I have found in the creek are Woodland to Archaic. Pottery is cord marked I find but most of the points have been Archaic so far.
 

Nice! Finding a hardstone tool puts an exclamation point on any year.
 

Nice find there rock!:headbang:
 

Good luck usually involves a lot of hard work! Keep it up. Great finds.

Yes its not easy finding the Celts it takes some hard work and knowledge. Ive figured it out as to where they will be. Thanks
