Todays Finds 05/29/2021

Another hardstone day. Found a few broken which were decent but the pestle was an unexpected find.

The corn was getting tall but due to ongoing things I had not been able to get out until now.

The day started in the mid 40s which is cool for this time of year, with a breeze with occasional gust. Oddly enough when I got into the field I wore my light gloves and had my hoodie up under my hat.

Walked a few ridges, didn't see too much. Then onto the rise towards the lower edge I spied a curve I knew, but did not put the probability of a find so I simply popped it out. Well it is a pestle.

Freshly popped out pestle.

What a sweet find... good on you..
From that first pic.i would have thought Celt, by the shape.
Certainly has some girth to it.. I have yet to find one.
Thanks for the show and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

The peck mark dimples on the top.

From the light,

The base shows some polished areas.

Wow that is nice it looks like some of the ones around here. I like pestles much harder to find than the morters.

Congrats on a great hunt. The Pestle is a very nice example. I believe that one would be called a ?Bell Pestle??
What is the material? Looks like quartzite in the last pic.
