Fascinating thread ! To add a totally off topic twist .When I think of the people who made and used these tools I firmly believe their souls are somewhere in eternity and some are looking upon our thread now and are in joyful peace and happiness . Praise be to Jesus ! My hours of wandering the fields after a big rain in my childhood and finding some good points are now being remembered !

I looked up what hertzian cone was. That was interesting.

So what was this. Its definitely been knapped. I think it was held by the thick end and maybe used to dig with. ?

Todays find.

What's that at bottom right looks like a broke drill, the one top right looks like a flake tool of some sort. Keep looking you will find something nice. Do you mind posting a few more pic's of that 1 bottom right

Definitely a drill, nice find would have been sweet if it was intact.

Found a stake driver/maul. Size of a soft ball.

Todays find. Maybe apprentice work lol.

Nice finds!!

Where did you find that maul at? A field?

It is neat to think these finds probably haven’t been touched by anyone since the person who lost or left it.

That is cool, great find!

Some grooved hammers/mauls I have.

On the prairie where there was a camp I'm guessing. I would say they stayed there often through the years as they moved from season to season. I have a friend that was about a dozen of them. He found them in fields and places I'm sure they had set up camps in their travelling's. They choice great spots to set up home for months at a time. Hunting fishing and scouting and natural protected areas from weather were picked very carefully.

Nice finds!!!

You guys that have experience, does this rock look like it’s been worked?

Seems to be worked but not the best pic.

Found these today. Didn’t get to look much as the snow was starting to cover everything up.

One of the best moments ever!!! Granddaughter found her first arrowhead last year and it was a dandy
