My Precious

[Prime_Focus]

I was hunting a ridge top field between a tight loop of a medium sized river in south central Iowa a couple years ago and found this half grooved axe. The only other things I found were a couple of broken points and flakes but I was still pretty happy on the way back to the truck.

Are you talking about the one before he picks it up or the other laying there

Haha I love it ..... I very often refer to my only axe head as my precious too

Thanks, guys! arrow86, it's not my only axe but it's the only half groove I have. They're all precious!

The 1st picture is the actual in situ picture. If you look closely in the 2nd pic you can see right below the Axe where it was originally laying.
