Got any Cobbs

[CreekSide]

I’ve been lucky enough to find just 2 whole Cobbs. The tan one looks broken on the base but it must of been an error in the making cause it’s a flake removed. Both were found in creeks. Let’s see yours.

I like the inclusions in those blades. It looks like crystal.

How common are slate celts in IN? I’ve only found one and was really surprised to see it. Slate is pretty soft for a celt. Mine had a destroyed bit.

I have found maybe 6 or there about. I have a number of slate axes also.

in my view, an authentic complete undamaged celt or axe is rare.
