Looks like st nick was carved into that Native American farm implement too!

Exciting!!

[monsterrack]

Natural stone sorry.

Ho ho ho....no no no!

If tNet is a contest, you just won.

It seems like a contest some days, but I can't tell by the pictures. The "sharp" end would have to have evidence of working to be man used.

Laffer, paleo Americans were as smart as you or I. Can you see yourself tilling a garden with that? Please demonstrate.

I think many others have made this point but leverage this forum for its purpose to learn. Invest time to read previous threads. If your even more inclined go to a local library and do some local reading. Please just educate yourself a little before posting rock after rock and getting the same answers. If you don’t do a little work on your end your just going to waste everyone’s time and collect a bunch of rocks.

That was probably my most Clovis like artifact and not from my usual site. I guess I am the worst artifact hunter ever.

You can see art and you doubt my opinion on this one. I don't really have any idea what kind of tool it is just trying to sound smart. I know someone manufactured it though, and you would to if you held it. You guys take pictures of rocks and know they don't translate, yet are still so quick to judge.

There isn't anything Clovis-like about that rock, as you are well aware. On the other hand, your posts get more replies than most legitimate posts. You're a STAR, Dude!

Is there a moderator out there? Don't you think it may be about time?

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

It isn't an artifact, there is nothing there showing it has been worked by man.

 

[Greg Lafla]

It is not possible that I could detect worked stone as you all can. I troll the internet and purchase strange rocks and bones to post here for a strange thrill it gives me. I then work them endlessly for days until they balance. Or peck faces into them with my ancient art skills. It makes me feel good about myself.

For clarification, I can't tell what your item is. "Clovis" refers to a culture which existed at least 9,000 years ago on the North American continent. They made finely worked spear points which are distinctive with flutes up the center on one or both sides, which can be exceptionally thin, and which have the bases and last bit of each side of the base ground so not to cut the leather pieces holding them to a spear shaft. Check out the net for more info. This is from memory, and my memory leaks these days.

Now "paleo", meaning old, is somewhat contemporary with the Clovis culture but does not necessarily only refer to that culture.

For a quick reference check out "clovis" on ebay and remember there are a lot of fakes out there.

I want to say something but it just wont come to me

 

[Greg Lafla]

Sir the forum is not called artifacts I can find in a book, that stone is worked whether you or anyone else can entertain the possibility

Indian Artifact Forum is for actual real North America Indian Artifacts, it is not for geofacts, rocks or minerals. Please stop posting rocks in the Artifact forums.
