Well I'm couch bound with a bad back so I decided to post some old finds hope you enjoy

Nice pieces.. That double ended doodad sure is an interesting one.
What are your thoughts on it? Maybe a stemmed point used as a drill then when that side got used up flipped over then the stem used as a drill?

 

[painterx7]

Thanks and I'm really not sure but your idea sounds very plausible . What about a small saw tool ?

Or were you talking about the blue piece if so then drill for sure it sure has some fine secondary flaking it is my favorite one in the pic do you think it is a possible drill with graver spur on the other end

Nice finds. Thanks for posting.

I was thinking double ended drill took but what do I know. You show some good stuff, makes the rest of us look bad. Ha. Hope the back heals up.

Painter, the piece that is drill like may be way more than a drill. Google NC. Lizard effigies. I swear that looks like a lizard effigy. Most lizard effigies are hard stone but a few flaked ones have turned up. They aren't a myth like the "thunderbird", they are well documented. I'm not sure if they have been documented in your area, but I'd look into it.

You know there have been lots of effigies documented in this area I will most definitely look into it thanks for the info boss

Im not joking about the lizard effigy. Most are slate, but the flaked ones I've seen are really close to what Painter has. I'm not saying its a lizard, bottom line, but rather, it's a possible ID that would not surprise me .

I did not mean that has a joke toward you NC, it is the shape of a Horn Toad Lizard to me, seen a lot of them while in west Texas. It does look like some type of chipped effigy, that's why I said have someone that knows about that type of artifact to look at it. Believe me I don't make fun of others or their comments in no way at all, because I am for sure no expert and another set of eyes can always see something that mine may not see

Dang I am really liking all these interesting comments ))) it's got my brain a thinking I will most definitely get that piece looked at thanks a bunch !!!!

[rock]

I was thinking lizard on it as a maybe. Cane we see both sides of it to get a better idea?

 

[painterx7]

The other side is almost identical I'm not near the piece to get another pic but will do when I get back home
