That square piece is nice. Looks old!

Edit: Compare it to some here... https://www.google.com/search?q=pal...IDA&bih=937&biw=1920&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS858US858

Nice finds the square blade is killer , on the point is the one ear broken off or does it look like it never had one ? Maybe a Pipe Creek if that’s the case

Thank you for sending for reference, I think you're right, it could be an old piece!

Thanks arrow! I am pretty sure the ear is broken off, its pretty tumbled, but it still will be making my case

Good to see I’m not the only one that stares at my recent finds while driving [emoji51]
Also I wonder if that could have been a chisel

Ha ha yea its tough for me to put them down when I first find them, I am always amazed by them each one is unique.

Fantastic color. I love the square blade.

You know, the more I look at it, that square piece may have been hafted--in the region where I put the arrows.

That was my first thought when I saw it ... that’s why I suggested possibly a chisel

You guys may be right. Could be like an Adze or flint celt etc.. The top in this picture could actually be the bit etc.. I am not sure.

I’m not sure it’s thick or heavy enough to be an Adze. Can you show a profile and a head on shot of the bit? Either it’s a nice piece. Congrats.

He's right. Those two angles would help to ID it.

I will send a picture of that tonight.

Couple more pictures. Looks like it may be an celt or adze.. Its fairly thin though...

Based on those photo’s i’d say it’s surely a knife and not a wood working tool like a Celt or adze. Still a nice find.
