Just a few fingerprints on limestone. They are still hard just crumbly on surface. Will bury them back.Thanks for warm welcome.

Hand hammer shells in limestone?

And should I place all of my geofacts in a certain forum or in my welcome post?

 

[Deb Nic]

Hafted plow point clear limestone

Has chips from end like reworked.

Hafting marks?

This past week found in fill dirt.

 

[Deb Nic]

Haft mark.

Same here I beleive. When I wet lightly and dry not soaked. I can see 3 strap marks. It dries at a different pace where handled,hafted,ground or chipped. A guy on youtube said to wet pebbles and i could see fingerprints. See first photo above.￦
I found limestone thats been buried does not sit well in hose water from Rainbow Springs. The fingerprints fell off.

 

[Deb Nic]

Bridled is what it feels like when I haft this peice.

These at finger tips are where binding lays best.

 

[Deb Nic]

Plow point Reworked?

Im thinking sharpened. I found in Florida but no telling where fill dirt lived previously.

 

[Deb Nic]

Hafting across top of point seemed to be laid bunched in a knot.

On top binding is knotted and thick bindery tracks. Bottom thinner and crisscrossed flatly less tracks. If yall can lead me to my people I humblely request placement in proper arena. Is this considered Native American?

 

[Deb Nic]

Sickel? Or knife?

Marks of being hafted. Also has a sweet spot for my little hand.I am interested in doing a video of watching it dry. It is amazing to me to feel and see previously unseen fingerprints.

 

[Deb Nic]

Looks like a ding or 2?

Looks like a new ding but I put them back in the ground marking where found and when. One of my favorites.

New dings by me not covering with dirt soon.

This end is almost like a karst feature. It is crumblg each time I touch.Going back in ground.

All larger than 2" where immediately known tools!

This handaxe has a feel of a small hand and found on same day as all over 2". That is when I found your site and started looking for boulders with grooves and right angles.Thank yall for any direction as to were these are grouped.

 

[Deb Nic]

Handaxe from Florida is 2.6 lbs.

Didnt know if that weight was important but I weigh every big fish! I am burying it tonight as it does not feel crumbly but dont want to take a chance.

 

[Deb Nic]

They just kept wowwing me. Plow?

I am so new and I have that trick of wetting to find hand prints. Dont want to soak this,any idas?

 

[Deb Nic]

Electron microscope anyone?

There is debris in pockets that does not match Florida soil. Electron microscope in Creative Commons is too advanced for me to homebuild. Wonder what is in there?

 

[Deb Nic]

Might be a fragile blank

Tip broken long ago. It sounds like a high density chert. It tings when tapped.Thank yall for sharing your experiance.

Welcome to the Tnet forum from Toronto Deb.
Very interesting finds, unfortunately I'm no expert when it comes to rocks.

For some expert opinions on your rock finds, you can post them here... Rocks/Gems
