History Found In the Field

Here are a couple of more recent finds. Research says the car is a 1940 cheverolet. But it definately had a custom bumper and the back converted into a flat bed. Best guess the CCC camp boys left it behind.

Found this on a higher point overlooking some areas. The rock stood out compared to the others. Do you think it is part of a cutting tool since it has multiple nicks out of it? I am not expert but it would be sweet if others thought it was or could say it's not

@Flatlander3 definitely looks like the one edge was altered by human hands to make a cutting tool.

I don't think it's a cutting tool. Indigenous people used sharpened edges of stone to scrape hides and that's what I think it was. They have examples of it at University of Wyoming museum.

We find a lot of stuff that they started on and for what ever reason discarded. Usually in chip piles. There’s lots of well known villages and camps in my area where you can find piles of the chips along with some started or broken pieces. I’m not saying that’s what that is, I’m no expert.

Edit to add: they always camped near creeks on the highest point in my area.
