Nice little grooved axe

Nice looking ! I have a hatchet and axe which looks similar to your axe. My dad found it when plowing the field some 60 years ago around the Rockport, Missouri area. I need to dig it out. Both the axe and hatchet have the grooved area. He had found dozens of arrow heads as well. Was a fertile area. Doesn't appear to be that far from where you are at. Did you find them around Elliot ?

I found it a bit closer to Missouri actually. Kind of by Clarinda.

No doubt about that one, nice axe head. It looks like it has been in a farmer's field for quite awhile with the implement strikes on it, luckily it didn't destroy it..

Sweet axe! I can't get a good sense of the size but it seems very small, did the Natives make toy or "child-size" tools for their younguns to play with?

Very nice Axe. Great find! Can we get something for a size reference?

I found it in a creek a rather good distance from any fields believe it or not.

The only thing I question is the background choice

Let me guess you think my pants are natural or fakes.

Obviously man-made just like the fine axe, but for us red-blooded straight men focusing on an artifact positioned in a fella's crotch is kinda weird. Next time prop it in some ample cleavage and all will be forgiven!

Very nice!!

=======
Rockport, Mo is about 50 miles from Clarinda. After giving it more thought, My dad had also lived and graduated in Tarkio, Mo. which is about 40 miles from Clarinda. He past some 13 years ago so I can't ask him. I need to dig those artifacts out because they look so similar and are from such close proximity that it could have been the same tribe that made both. I always wondered who made them.

That very well might be.

That does look like a small axe. What are the dimensions?

I thank you for that.

Great find, I'm heading to Des Moines next Wednesday to see mother and celebrate her 94th birthday on the 21st. Maybe I'll get little time in walking the shores of Saylorville while I'm out there?
