Nantucket produces a beaut!

Poking around some gravel bars and dunes today and picked this stunning Celt out of the sand! My heart soared! Showed my buddy/mentor. He said he’s never seen one here before! I’m feeling very blessed. I can hardly believe I found it... The in situ is not exactly as it was. I picked it up and then put it back for the pic. The bit was buried. Thanks all!

Good for you,that's a dandy.

 

[CHUDs]

Not sure if I can top it southfork but I’m definitely going to try!

Nice little Celt! I found a couple of little celts this spring about the same size of yours!

Congratulations on a killer find. I love Stone Tools and that one is a beauty. Do you know what age? In my area a square Celt like would be considered Hopewell or at least Woodland.

That is some kind of fine! Congrats!

The Grim Reaper: I really don’t know. I’ve learned everything from y’all...I’m mildly familiar with a projectile point ID page but beyond that? As always...I love input!

Great find ..... looks like you picked a awesome vacation spot

 

[CHUDs]

This is from Massachusetts...Nantucket island to be specific.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Could be Woodland then. Definitely a killer no matter what culture.

 

[Rookster]

Yep, it's beaut. Congrats

The artifact guide published by the Massachusetts Archaeological Society describes celts as Late Archaic-Late Woodland in age. Don't see square forms too often....
