I found this about 3 years ago. A friend, who knew I was interested in artifacts, called and told me they had just plowed a field on his uncle's ranch. In the past he had found arrowheads and pottery shards there, and new stuff popped up whenever they plowed it.
I rushed over there and walked the rows ... and about a third of the way into the field I found this:
At the time I was kind of excited about it, but since it was broken (and I had no idea what it really was) I wasn't all that excited. My friend had said it's "native american".
It wasn't until this morning that I realized this is ancient! I've been researching Hohokam artifacts (there are several verified Hohokam camp sites in this area) and I found some identical stone axes and suddenly realized what I had. Now it's my favorite find, even if it is broken.
