I got 2 of the stone axes off an old friend but found 2 of the bigger ones and the broke bit end of one in my fields,I found all the celts,2 and teardrop thing came out of my cornfields and rest came off a friends farm down close to Indian old fields in Clark county Kentucky. Nutting stones and everything else came out of my fields too

First find was the broken bit end of an ax or Celt in the pic,my favorite is the teardrop shaped thing because idk what it is and ain’t never seen nothing else like it from this area.it has a highly polished very symmetrical shape too.All my hardstone came from walking plowed ground, 90% of my points is from the cornfields also,and I’d say the other 10% is from overhangs and I’ve found some points in the creeks. The overhangs I’ve dug on my place have flint chips and stuff but never found a lot of good whole points,like I said mostly all from field walking.
