i picked up the big piece one day and really liked how it fit in my hand with a place for my thumb too. A couple of days later the six year old comes back with the next biggest piece... a day or so later hmmm says I...i wonder if they fit together. After i put them together i notice a small chip missing. so I think to myself "i think i remember where these were found, i wonder if that last piece is still around...sure enough it was....so i get this nice broke knife/scrapper in three different hunts, not bad luck at all. probably broke by a wild horse stepping on it.

Man the odds of that are just way out there, very cool find:thumbsup:
 

Way cool to find all 3 pieces, especially with the 3rd piece being so relatively small. I assume these would be trail or path finds, rather than beach, creek, or field finds? I dare say that very few people out there would have the knowledge or experience to have completed that lithic puzzle. Good job and HH.
 

yeah, they were found at an old indian knapping spot on the side of a hill in the desert.
 

Interesting story. Thanks for sharing.
