Take your secretary more often! Is it a more decorative piece? like a burial, or ceremonial? sure is pretty!

larson1951 · Jun 30, 2012

it is extremely thin........but i still don't know............what do cyou think??

That is a nice piece Steve, it is odd could be a drill. Does it have a bevel on the edge ?

Sure is one sweet find! Somethings we'll never know about some of the artifacts we find. Just maybe some young brave got carried away and this was the end result?? Anyway, the secretary has it framed and on her wall? Or did she give in and let you keep it? :laughing7:

I agree started as a knife and ended up as a drill. Very nice most good ones are broken.

I'm guessing that's an older piece than what you normally find there?

I would say its a heavily re-sharpened notched point. Looks too thin and delicate to be a drill. beautiful material!

Sorry, merely a geological natural find. I would encourage your secretary to continue scouring the field, in the hope that something actually an artifact might turn up. (Jokin, good find. Maybe reworked into an awl?)
