Need celt help!!

[NC field hunter]

I have had these "celts" for about a year now. They came from one of my better grounds, and I had never questioned what they were. Both came from a river site. Recently a friend of mine pointed out that they had no bit or grinding/pecking marks. Could it be that I have been marveling over river rocks?? You decide for me!



























Thanks guys!!

i also have to agree with your friend
ok my friend?

we find lots of those but we pick them up and look at them cuz some are heavily used and show much wear from hammering or grinding on each end

they look like friendly rocks to me but not celts

Neither are Celts. Neither show any signs of being worked by man or of having a blade.

Thanks Larson a d Reaper. I picked them up, washed them and never really gave them a second thought. I had pretty well decided that my friend was correct, but figured no harm could be done by posting them for further analysis. With these two aside, could an artifact be polished well enough to hide the pecking and grinding of man?? Thanks for helping me fellas!!

Artifacts certainly can be polished well enough to hide all signs of pecking, grinding, or flaking, but that polish looks quite a bit different than river polish.

I sorry, but I also would say "rocks". Here's an example of what Steve is talking about. A rock that's been used for chipping or hammering will show very obvious wear around the edges.
