Found a large celt

[quito]

Found this guy yesterday it's 7 1/4 inches long. It has a few nicks to the bit, but other than that, it is in great shape!. Stuck my stick in the ground to pop the rock out, and luckily, before I did, I recognized what it was and got it (besides the hole next to it) in-situ. This is the 2nd celt I've found on this site, and it must have been near the surface for quite a while. There are over a dozen serious implement strikes (plows disks, and cultivators), and many light scratches. This is a nice example of hard it is to destroy an artifact with farming equipment. I also found a nice little side notched arrowhead while I was there too.

Great find/save. The plows nicked it a little but it is a nice one.

Thanks!!!
Hard to say who it belonged too. The site is where three rivers intersect, and it has been used for a long, long time.

Thanks Lars! Do you find any celts on your site? I guess they are not that common this far west. This is my fourth complete one, and I have a few segments too.

The bees are going good Steve! Building up nicely! Things are blooming down here,....... finally.

It was one of those days when you just have that feeling, and you were right! I'm sure you know how it goes.
