I know it's native american...

My friend found this in a plowed field and showed me. It looks like an Indian stone axe. Can anyone confirm and maybe what it's value may be? It measures approx. 6" x 5" and is made of stone. Thanks.

Grooved stone axe, awesome! Used from 8000BC-800AD. It can probably be dated better by someone who knows Indian artifacts. You might want to post it on the American Indian artifacts forum below. HH, Mike

Yeap, Its a full grooved Axe. Full grooved axes are believed to be the oldest of the stone axes. I believed they are Middle Archaic(bout 5,or 6 thousand years old) As they got better at halfting, the other axes came about, the three quarter grooved, half grooved, quarter grooved, and finally evolved into the Celt.

Good find. It looks like it's been "plowed" once or twice.
