Grant County Indiana relics II

[dognose]

Some more of the relics recently obtained a small collection from the finders grandson. The finder Byron Woodford Baxter died in 1957. His grandson had little information on the other that his grandfather who lived, and died in Grant County Indiana, was into collecting Indian relics.

A large Harrison county flint cache blade




A full groove axe




I thought this celt had some interesting "spots" which may have been odd, but under magnification the spots are deep in the stone and the surface is very smooth



The celt is a very dense hardstone

I love the way that blade photographed!

Those are all very nice too! Nice you were able to obtain them and show us.

The light spot on the Celt looks like where the wooden handle was hafted, dark area’s are probably where pitch was applied....most celts don’t show that feature, cool..
