AWL RIGHT !!!!!! That is a nice recovery. Amazing how they would trade the metal awls to replace the bone and stone. A very nice find sir. You should show that to the americas artifacts section. You have found many such items if memory serves right?
Congratulations.

I'm sorry, I just don't get it... how can you recognise it as an awl?
I would've tossed it with the rest of my scrap.
Then I see posts like yours and think 'am I missing something?'

Mile-ender . The location of the relic is from a fur trading site that the Natives camped out at and traded with white merchants
from various comas apanies such as H.B.C Co. and the N.W.C Co. Both ends are beveled and this awl has a center bulge to stop
the the leather from slipping completly through. The bulge also is used as a finger rest and to show the user where the 2 sizes
of the gauge stops. this Awl was eather made back east or in Europe as a trade item.
