I found this piece this morning at the low tide line on a tidal river below a fort. There would have been natives in this area for centuries. It looks like a hafted knife but I can't determine if it has actually been worked. I'm not a novice to native artifact collecting and have found 100s of points, scrapers, knives, axes, etc but this one has me stumped. It has a uniform thickness and well defined edge which I tried to capture in the photos. I think I am stumped because it may have been subjected to some pretty harsh tidal conditions which may have dulled the telltale signs of knapping. Input?
I also found this pretty agate which may or may not have been worked.
