rock hatchet head?

Luke0927 · May 1, 2008

Did i find anything here...looked like what i would think would be an old rock hatchet head...

Looks more like a hoe. I have a couple similar to that. What is it made of?

definately got something there--but some advise--you DID NOT get it out of a creek or on state or federal property.--it is illegal to take artifacts from waterways or from state or fed. property. i had 4 arrowheads taken from me on the oconee river by the dnr. that is what he told me.

It has the little lip up on the small end like where they would have had it rested upgainst the wood an maybe tied....

No doubt about that.

I`m gonna be the skeptic on this one. I think it is just a natural stone, with a unique shape. The bit end shows no wear use, and that type of conglomerate stone would not be able to withstand the use without breakin`.

I think that you got a very cheap pet rock.

Well a free pet rock.....makes a nice paper weight ill just set it up on a shelf some where.....

GT-40 GUY · May 2, 2008

$.50 ain't free, but for a pet rock you really got a bargain. :rofl:

dawg2 · May 2, 2008

Without really looking at it, it is hard to tell. I'll try to post some I have found that are similar in shape. But not knowing where it was found it very well could just be a "geo-fact" instead of an artifact.

Keep it clean, gentlemen.

just curious but how about does the DNR take your arrowheads? Did they find you looking for them or did someone tell them you had found some??? Ive always wondered this.

i say make a tomahawk out of it yurself an get too braggin !!!

I'm gonna go with Nick on this one, its just a rock. Also as far as the finding artifacts in the waterways, if you have permission from a land owner whos property joins the waterway, you can look and take. Looking on state and fed lands is a nono.
