Recent Dig Finds

Finally got back to digging and poking around at the farm. Mostly triangles with broken tips. I was surprised with how many triangles found, plus the pottery I was finding in this small area. Hopefully I can find something whole next time......HD.

What in the world is that Triangle Thing?

I may have just let mine lay where it was, but I remember finding a "Triangle Thing" too somewhere back in time.

Man you really pack those smokes don't you?...lol

I notice the ends are twisted, run out of rolling papers?

Awesome finds and I'm curious about the triangle thing too

Thanks for the replies. I think that triangle stone maybe a abraider stone, used to sharpen bone awls. I have found quite a few awls nearby. Yeah those are my no-tax cigarettes...….ha.

Some very nice finds.

I found something similar to the triangular item years back, sometime about 1980 in Missouri. I have it in a box out in the barn, never thinking much about it. Recently I saw a similar item in Art Gerbers collection.

Art's relic is listed as Pyramidal Limestone Loafstone, 2-1/8 in. It almost identical to mine in both shape and size.


What are the dimensions of the triangular relic you found?

Thanks for the information dognose. Its made of limestone, 1-5/8 inches on each side, and polished on one face. I will throw it on here by itself and see what people think. If a can get some decent pics of it.....
