Serpentine, which is our State rock, if I remember correctly, is very soft. Not a suitable cutting tool in most cases. Are you sure that the tool that you found is not a hide scraper?

Welcome to t-net! :hello2:

I'm looking forward to more info and pics on your finds. :icon_thumright:

My dad's family lived in southern Vermont & southern New Hampshire since the early 1600's, and it's sure beautiful country in your state! My dad moved south as a young man because he wanted to be warm, lol. But we had happy summer visits in New England! Years later, studying the family history, my sister learned that one of our direct ancestors was killed by a native people's raid, no doubt due to the transplanted Brits' persistence in taking over the native's land for farming. But the raid was only against the men working in the fields, leaving the women and children still alive in their cabins -- we descended from a child who at the age of two years old survived that long-ago raid.

I had all these pieces confirmed...but believe what you want.. there is always the chance these are nothing. nobody here thinks that but its certainly possible
