Looks like some kind of little tool. Seems like I find a lot of that kind of stuff, Not a point, or blade, or anything in the books, But worked and thin, and not broken. I have come to the conclusion that sometimes we just don't know, and their is no one around that was there to tell us what they had in mind. Never know. As far as the rattler, WE have copper heads in my neck of the woods here In Mo. We have a lot of rocky bluffs. I have seen them as fat as a soup can while out hunting. If I want to see my son, or Buddy's try to run in the water while creek hunting. I just scream SNAKE and point behind them. The looks on their faces, the water splashing, and the run for the bank. is priceless. John
