Title: Christmas day surface finds.
Post by: Roger on January 03, 2010, 12:50:10 pm

My Nephew and I found these Christmas Day. The one appears to be a "in work" knife blade?

The two I found also appear to be worn out knives due to the retouched flaking pattern on opposite sides of the blade. This resulted in a "twist" or spiral to the edges.
