Hit the newest of my fields, the one that produced the points from my last post. Nabbed a broken quartz point and an unknown material broken tipped blade. On my way out heading back to the car I saw just a small knob of reddish stone sticking out, I hooked it with my rake and pulled a bit and saw the groove! I lost it, happy dance, hootin and hollerin.... My first axe ever! It's about 6" long and 3.5 inches wide.

On a side note, does anyone know what the other rocks are?? They are not found anywhere else in these fields or even the general vicinity, almost all are oblong or egg shaped and rather smooth. Start to find them once the flakes start showing up, when I see em I get excited because I'm into the good area that produce lithics. Grinding stones?? Knapping tools?

Congrats!!!! Killer ax. Other stones could be grinders hammers camp stones etc.. or could just be natural. Never know without evidence on them. How about a pic of that ax from the top?
 

BaNNer find for sure!!!! Congrats!
 

beauty of an axe, if the other oblong stones have been pounded on the ends then their likely hammerstones
 

great axe,congrats on your first one its a very nice one.the other stones could be hammerstones etc....but its hard to tell on those types of artifacts if you got a relic or a rock.
 

Great axe artifact. It would take me a while to dig that one out! Nice to see they are still out there.
 

That is a very nice axe head in remarkable shape. WTG and Good Hunting! :thumbsup:
