[QUOTE="AKA_RedRimmed_Desert, post: 142284, member: 4527"] This is not my most recent altered flint find, rediscovered it last season, before winter snows moved in to stay. I once had picked the carved stone up to look at, then put down under an outdoor water hydrant in the garden (forgotten until reached down, noticed the sharp edges). [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4527/1426728477_birdscraper8.jpg[/img] Hard to imagine that primitive cultures, could become so skilled at small carvings, fragile details almost to tiny to see without magnification. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4527/1426728715_birdscraper2.jpg[/img] Under the end of beak, amazing how they made it like a chisel, but used 3 small effigy like depressions so the sharp micro edges don't break.
