Nice point! I don't suppose it was found in Candler County.

I had the wrong part of the Mano, Metate configuration, it was a metate.

I always find the grinders but cant find the Metates. Those are nice finds

Some of the best points I have came off of my grandfather's farm in Burke County.

A metate is a mortar? It depends upon the area found and what terminology is popular in that area. Here they are called a Mortar (South East). The grinding stone used in the hand is the pestle western ones are more often called mano. I am confused already
Anyways nice artifacts. I have a few from Early county I think? (Kolomoki). Great area you are in.

Metate or mortar, regardless of what you call it, nice finds! . I can relate to "can't get the photo to show depressions", I wet the depressions in order to help see them in the pics., HH!
