fish hooks

[larson1951]

my friend has these found in the same area
they are fish hooks and fish hook blanks from which one blank yields two hooks
i have found several of these which were broke
can you imagine when a person spent 5-6 hours on the start of a pair of these and then it broke?
well i don't know what kind of cuss words they used back then but i bet it was interesting!

Those are sweet!! Mel, the stone ones tend to be artifakes.

however we did find a stone hook a few years ago
