Hey All!

New to the site and figured id ask for some help as my first post! Im in NY and just started getting into hunting points and other NA Artifacts (or at least trying to). During one of my hikes/walks this evening, I found this stone. Not sure if its anything, but has a small indent on one side and thought maybe it was part of a bow drill? Also looks to be worked a bit on the thinner back side where that small ledge is . IDK, maybe searching for points for the last 2 weeks has me desperate :dontknow:, but i figured i'd ask and take the time to introduce myself!

Is there any battering on the ends? It may be a Hammerstone but I believe the divot is natural from what I can see in your pictures.
 

Welcome to the site. Have you found any flint flakes in the areas you are hunting yet? That is a sure sign of artifacts to come. If you have any questions on getting started fire away!
 

The hole is probly for the thumb as you would use the worked area as a scraper as you already know

A hammer perhaps, but with no scraper edge seen, why in the world would you post such an opinion as if it were fact? It's clearly not a scraper....
 

If that is anything besides a plain old rock... it’s a fire drill rock.
