Tobacco Patch Celt

[aaroncr]

This was an accidental find by myself around 25 years ago while helping a friend haul in tobacco. Not exactly sure why the bug didn't bite me then...just doing other things at the time I guess. I've always been active with my extracurriculars. Located in central-ish Kentucky.

Very nice celt, I like that speckled granite material.

I’ve found a couple I’m way overdue for another. Think I might of found one the other day but it was missing the bit end. That’s a nice one you found a very different material from what I have found

Diorite celt and a very nice one at that.

KY is mostly limestone in the central and western part of the state. I doubt if there are any outcrops of diorite there. That rock was probably imported from glaciated areas farther north or found in a river that carried glacial out wash down south.
Diorite was a favorite for celts here in central IL and is a fairly easy to find rock.

Nice, interesting that the bit has a bit of a point to it.
