Eyeball find

davbec

While crossing a recently planted corn field to get to a favorite fishing spot on the river, I walked past an odd shaped
rock. I got about five steps by it and just had to turn around and take a closer look. Glad I did! Looks to be a
primitive stone tool.

That's pretty cool looking. Any idea of its age?

davbec

Have no idea of age. Would like to find out.

Super find. If you live near a college, the Archeaology department could likely help. Cheers, RickO

If I were to find something like that on the way to my favorite fishing spot I think that fishing would have to wait until I was through looking in that field.

You did well

Actually that was the first attempt at designing the wheel. Almost had it right!

I think that perhaps a leather strap would go into the groove with a wooden handle and
it becomes a club. Weapons are cool for sure. Think maybe?

Looks to me to be a net weight. So they were there for the same reason you were. Ground stone is nearly impossible to date. The range is considered to be around 2500 to 200 ybp. Taking it to the local university archaeology department would give you more information, as I do not know much about Minnesota's prehistory. However, please refrain from doing any invasive testing of the area. Removing artifacts from a site without a research plan, diminishes the overall value of the site. It is also illegal in most states to knowingly disturb an Archaeological site.

I'm with archydigger on this-- at very least, note *exactly* where you found it so you can reference it later.

Very interesting find. Wondering what could it be...
