Had a few minutes to do some ground and pound and it only took a second for me to realize this could be a great new area

Such a shame that those are broke, hopefully you will find some complete beauties in the future.

It seems that the tips of those drills are the first to be damaged.

Yes I guess being so small in diameter compared to the long length it's a leverage problem haha I wonder how to tell if they broke it or nature ? It wasn't a field find so it has me curious

I've found drills reworked down to a nub. IMO...If it broke during use I think they just sharpened it until it wasn't usable. So if I find one that looks big enough for reuse then I would think it was damaged by nature or usually a farmer. Looks like you have a great new hunting ground Painter!! :icon_thumright:
