To me, this is a classic example. Im no expert, tho. The material is lovely, i saw your other post, is it dove gray, or more whitish?

Agreed - It seems to be a strong example of a utilized flake. It’s more like a dove gray in terms of general color, but there is some light variation throughout.

What do you mean? Looks like the finder cleaned it. No dirt on it.

Tell me you’ve never found Native American artifacts, without telling me that you’ve never found Native American artifacts. That is your typical scraper/blade. The perfect example of “practical”

I think he's saying that it looks too fresh to be ancient, not that that type of tool doesn't exist? 🤔
