Here's a few of my personally found Scrapers. I had a virus wipe out a bunch of my pictures and these are the only ones I can find. I'll see if I can take some more and post them later.

Nice collections guys , Hay Grim Reaper I used to like that EL+P music back in the 70ds, brings back fond memeries, and you have an awesome collection also. Happy hunting.:icon_thumleft:
 

Nice collection Steve. I was waiting to see yours. What a universal tool that was not only used all across time but all across the world. Talk about recycling from a reduction flake. So it pays to flip every flake cause you never know when one of these beauties might be there.

Great thread,Tn. We find a bunch of scrapers around here but these few I think best fit the description "thumbnail" scrapers. The last two are examples from K.Y.

Hey Viking ! That is some nice color. Looks like horse creek chert in the last picture. It is easy to see how these tools get pass us. I am going to try and get some pics of my friends micro drill collection. Talk about amazing work in flint : ) Thanks for sharing.
