It does kind of look like an indian artifact. I'd say probably an adz or celt. Doesn't really look like an axe to me. It's too thin, small. _____________________________ Life is easy with your eyes closed. (in reply to huffmnd) Post #: 7

If its a celt it will be made of very hard tight grain stone. If its a sharpening stone it will be rougher coarse grained stone. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to tazmainiendigger) Post #: 10
