Welcome to Tnet. I hope your time here is rewarding. Lots of great folks.

And sorry to tell you but your stone is not an artifact in my opinion. It is naturally formed. Keep looking.

Somebody on here may tell you different, but doubt it. If Treasure_Hunter gets on here and comments, heed his comment, for he is very knowledgable on this subject.

traveller777, thank you for the compliment, but I am by far not the most knowledgeable here on Indian artifacts.​



Welcome to Treasurenet, Joseph, we are happy to have you with us.

Sorry, that is not an Indian artifact or stone age, it is natural erosion. Even when the picture is blown up by over 300% there are no signs of work by man.

Hi, i appreciate your opinion about my find. I need photos from several didderent angles and some close up. Its definitely man-made, but my photo doesn't show rhe sharpened edges on the lower side of what i can only guess is the 'pickaxe' or ' 'plowing tool' and on the lower and left side of the 'axe' side. I will post some better pics, so to be cont'd. Agsin, i appreciate any and all comments.

If you don't mind my asking, how long have you been studying, finding, and collecting artifacts?

Just for your information, pre-Columbian peoples did not use plows. I have attached an interesting read.

It also appears to be a soft sedimentary rock, like sandstone or limestone, which would break apart the first time you tried to chop something with it.
