It's hard to say what it was going to be, they had started working it down on one side, but the other side is still in a perform state. If it had been used as a axe or a hoe it would have some use sign and JMO the creek would not remove that, since it made from such a hard stone. That flood did some good for you keep looking, you are going to find something out of sight I have a feeling soon. We got our flood yesterday, so it will change the dynamics of all the creeks and fields. Like I said not sure what your find is but it has some real nice flaking, almost Paleo style on one side. It's a super find and will look great in your collection.:notworthy:Keep on keeping on, love to see your finds and thanks for posting. HH
 

WOW !!!!

I have NEVER,,, and I mean NEVER have seen tools and points that size?

Can I ask what state these are found in?
Fully understand if you wish not to reply.

The stuff I have found like that is no where near that size,,,or quality for that matter.

Simply beautiful man,,,
Thanks for sharing

Hoe Hoe Hoe. I think its a nice Hoe in case you didn't catch that. Man you killed it didn't you? That 1st one is sweet to.

That's what I was thinking too. But there doesn't appear to be any usage wear on the big end.

How about a Celt or adze?Maybe what ever it was it hadn't been used...mjm
 

Not sure how far you are from me but we have dover here but our main quarry material is Fort Payne chert.

It's the same here there are huge outcrops of fort Payne as an excavator it's a real pain in the A$$ and hard on equipment lol there are supposably 5 Dover quarry sites in my county
 

I met a geologist and talked with him. They know how to access the information of outcroppings exposed. I thought that it was useful information. Now to find time to use it haha.
Great pieces from your creek. Almost like Missouri creeks.
 

Is the big one some kind of axe? Awesome stuff man, gotta love it when water helps us out.

Still unsure of what it is or was going to b . Who knows !!!
 

So what does the 1st one look like on both sides?
 

Painter you keep this up and I know some folks in New Orleans that make voodoo dolls:laughing7: You keep looking dude and you are going to find that 6-8in Clovis that is laying out there just waiting on you.:thumbsup:
 

I sure would love to !!!! Too much snow right now and I actually do not know where to look here in the US. (And I know nothing about legislation on flint hunting in the US) I have been flint hunting in France since I was a kid, and I still occasionally do when I am back there during the Summer. I also used to flintknap a little. I have been in the US for 10 years and never went flint hunting here... Darn... That hurts !! I did find a flint arrowhead here in the US. It was during a visit of a Hudson Valley mansion, and the arrowhead was probably made only a few years ago as a demo, during an archeological event.

I am really stunned and amazed at the quality of your artefacts !!
 

it all depends on where you live, each state plus federal gov. lands have different regs. and laws.
