Hey artifact fans !
Sometimes an artifact comes when you least expect it. I go to one of those old time barber shops where they swap story's and tell tall tails. Little kids get their first hair cut and ball like babies. It is kinda like the Mayberry Barber shop on Andy Griffith. You get a hair cut for ten bucks. My Barber had told me he found a strange looking stone tool point in his garden. I of course wanted to see it so he said he would bring it in when I came and picked up the honey. He is also a bee keeper and makes the best sour wood honey ever. So anyways he had it and I saw it was a stone drill with a straight base. He insisted I take it and put it in my little collection and would not take anything for it. It looked like another drill I had found but had never seen this color before. I was like it's Knife River Flint!! Well we do not have that material here but Larson sent me some KRF to compare. It looks close to it but it was not. Took it to the local expert and he immediately called it " Chickamauga black". I said but its not black? He said don't matter that is what the local material is called. I can not argue with this guy cause he is always right and knows everything. I am a rookie compared to him.
So long story short here is the drill that was given to me. Feel free to share any drills you may have if you want to.
