	Small "Fist axe" « on: March 01, 2010, 01:43:51 pm »

This is the first fist axe I have found.
I have found Hafted types before but no fists.
I found it while out looking for fossils. A creek find.
My treasure buddies could only see a rock!
I attempted to explain to them that it was a butchering tool.

That's a good looking one, too. Maybe you should have offered to show them how to knap flint so they could tell accidental shaping from deliberate working.

Nice find, The guy that lost that has been dead a long time. Is it my imagination or do our tools become less less and less permant as technology advances. 15 years ago I saw an IBM 360 in a junk yard. Where is it now?

Been hunting one thing or another all my life. Arrowheads and fossils were just the first of many things I brought home.
Don't remember the first arrowhead or the first fossil I found.
I still intentionally get out looking for arrowheads on occasion.
I found the fist axe while looking for fossils.
It was quite by accident but I spied it in the gravel of a nearby creek,
that I haunt on a regular basis.
I have found several points in this creek over the years.
I have even found pottery shards there.
Mostly fossils ammonites in particular.
Thanks for replying.

where have you found the majority of your arrowheads? cliff overhangs, riverbeds, old ruins sites etc?

Yes, all of the abouve and more.
The overhangs were the place where the digging produced more over a long period only because the area surrounding was where they were the most active.
The inside provided shelter only durring times when the weather was severe enough to drive them in.
Middens and mounded areas produced a lot of my material and normally produced more of the larger specimens. Creeks and surface have their good points but they usually produce the rough stuff that have tumbled and or have been exposed so long that they have a patina that distracts from the esthetic value in them.
I like digging in the middens of Texas because there you can come home with some of the most incredible things. You never know what you will come out of there with.
You can take it to the bank that if you ever find an area that you have permission to dig you can bet you will be satisfied with what you find.
