Happy Granddaughter, proud Grandpa

[T Witko]

Perfect day to spend some time hunting with my granddaughter. She says "grandpa you better look at this point" and it was worth the look. It was hard to get her to stand still long enough to get a decent photo .

I also picked up a "?" piece, a nice chert drill/knife and an good size shaft abrader.

WOW! You found a very nice assemblage of artifacts; nice tri-notch (bow and arrow) arrowhead, nice awl, very nice abrader. Not sure of the other. Congratulations!

thanks, and I'm really not sure what it is When I first picked it up I thought it was something made from antler, but it isn't. It's some kind of stone. I don't know if it's a game piece, a special tool or what purpose it had. It's the only one I've ever seen. Any thoughts on what it is are welcome and appreciated.

T!! i realy like that double drill is it about 3 inches long and less than 1/2 inch wide at widest point, in first photo of it, it looks like a piece is broken off the bottom center of it. does it look that way in your hand. love that little side notch, looks like a birdpoint copy of a bigsandy point.

Thanks TModel, I think it's the way I'm holding it. I've added some better photos. Your other measurements are right on the money and it's about 1/4" thick.
