Flint Flake...

[Swartzie]

Found this piece of flint today in a hole I was digging. Didn't think much of it other than it's a cool find. But, now after I have looked at it for a while it sort of looks like a crude musket flint in the making. I'm sure it's nothing, but I'm curious what others think.

Tool vs just a rock can be tricky, but I think I see enough flaking to make it a tool. Looks like a side scraper to me.

I find lots of Flint scrapers on the ploughed fields of England, it's very hard to determin what's been hand tooled or flaked, to what's been sculptured by the plough if you found this away from worked land, then there' a good chance of it being tooled

It was found in the woods. So, it has not been plowed or anything like that. Plus there is plenty of history where it was found. Both native american and military.
