Was curious as to some thoughts on the last pic i think its a drill maybe but not sure it doesn't seem to b broken at all

Try again,lol. Maybe a spike? We call them Tn River spikes this is from down in lower Ala.

I believe the one to the far right is a drill.

Man i had a bunch of buddies that started calling me perv and it stuck some how so i use it as a name on the internet lol. So a spike just out of curiosity what would they use it for?

 

[rock]

A spike was used in the Woodland period I do believe.

 

[Tnmountains]

Mine has some serrations on the tip. My guess like a gouge or to flesh out a hide. It is a wicked tool that could be be held in the hand for many task. Does mine look a little like yours? They are wild looking and you do not see them often.

I always thought a spike was a type of a point made in the Woodland Period?

 

[biggpervv]

The one you have is huge compared to what i found what i found is probably the size of a pencil and probably only a few inches long

 

[rock]

Its a pencil drill. I looked it up. I have never seen one like Tn M has, but I want one.

 

[biggpervv]

I looked it up after you said that and the one i saw was from the archaic period i wonder if this could also b from that period

 

[biggpervv]

Yea the one Tn has is huge and would b nice to add to a collection

Look at the site listed under my response and see what they say about them. I just looked and it doesnt say on that type. It says they were used in all times. The only way you can know is if it was a point base drill.
