..... bucket lister.....

i've just been sitting here rolling this around in my hands and shaking head in disbelief for the past couple hours .. all the pictures are going to be side ways. i will bust out the nikon tomorrow when the suns out and do my best.

this came out of an eroding bank today. the same bank has produced some really incredible finds. all essentially from the same 2 feet area over a few years time. i can't really put coherent thoughts to words. i'll try to do better tomorrow. just wanted to share something that is a year maker for me. never thought i would find a hard stone celt. i have brokes of softer stone but this appears to be granite or something similar.....

A very nice "ADZ", beautiful workmanship. Slight damage to under side shows work use polish, the owner would have stopped at this point to reground the bit to prevent further damage. Excellent example.

An adze with a straight bit? I doubt it.

That’s an excellent example of a Celt. Same tool as these I have found.

In the pictures the bit appears curved, if not I stand corrected, a celt it is then.
