out in the woods today

[falcolnx]

decided to see how an ace 150 would do out in the sticks. Other than thorns and trees i found afew bits of metal, scared more turkeys than I've ever seen even in the grocery store, and found what i think is a hand axe of some sort! here's pics!

Any info anyone has on the rock would be appreciated since i have no idea about it.

i certinaly looks like a tool of some sort could be a chopper

Are they collectable in any way? I do much with arrowheads and tools. I figure i could trade sell or give it as a gift to someone who would enjoy it more than me

Looks like a native american skinning tool maybe its almost as big as maybe a tomohawk but id imagine it would have dents in the sides for the handles forks but it deinetly looks worked.

The stone looks like a scrapper for hides but I could be wrong. Worth checking out in the Indian find forum here.

From my studies and the information of a lot of folks I trust, that is a chopper, mostly used to smash bone or anything else that needed chopping I suppose.....as far as monetary value, not much. People do collect them but they are fairly common around most camps.....nice find tho and keep looking in that spot, there may be points or other tools present....goat

thanks for the info! I will give it to a friend who loves these artifacts and show him the area it was found in.
