Drill and other pieces

[georgia flatlander]

Made an excursion out this morning and found a whole drill. While not rare, it is unusual for us to find one in pristine condition.
The other odd thing is that it seems to be made of agate, or a similar material. We haven't found anything made of this particular stone at this particular site. South Georgia, Clay County.
The other pieces are typical for the area and time period.

Please let me know if you have any ideas on the type of stone.

Man that’s a beauty, I’ve only found broken ones . If found up north I would think material as a type of flint. Whatever it is I would have it front and center in a display . Great finds

Looks very similar to knife river flint on my iPhone screen

I agree. I shouldn't be surprised with the amount of material and points we've found here that had to have been traded for.

Nice drill! I think complete ones without broken tips are rare.

Looks kind of flat for a drill the way it lays so flat in the 2nd pic.

It's awesome and a great find and so are the rest of your finds!

Would need an edge pic but it looks like a knife that has been nicely resharpened a few times. JMO
