Stan, by announcing a statement like you did with regard to thinking 90% of some Ones attributes as being rubbish, isnt the best way to go about making friendly aquaintances in my opinion....& why do you keep saying i said they are tools?....please explain this as its arising too often to be ign...

Morning Richard....iv had quite a few people look at it, i found it about 6 months ago with a few more pieces, its a Mousterian Rock Crystal arrow head dated around -35000 to -30000BC ...i found 7 pieces in all inc this 1, the others were 3 natural rhomboids, 1 shaped into the "S" form whi...

Stan, why are you so argumentative....i was invited to this board by a sensible, pleasant person to share a few pictures of my finds & discuss with nice decent people the possibilities of them being something that is completely unknown by byself & every expert i have contacted regarding them...

Min, with regard to your good intentions, fortunately i dont need any help as im fully aware of possibilities that could have happened, may have happened, did happen etc....if you take a piece of wood, shape it into what ever form & stick it into a blazing fire the results would not be a perfect...

Stan, said in a friendly context, with the WWW at your fingertips, its not a great task flicking through yourself to find info on such matters...charcoal is charcoal which ever country you come from...Min, wooden implements may have been founded around the early Palaeo period ( -1,5000,000 ) but wou...

This is not the case Min, charcoal was made and shaped and used for sacrid & religious purposes, especially during the late Mesolithic era although my pieces do not fall into this catagory, or atleast i dont think they do due to no reference to any similar.

Stan & Min...you seem to be neglecting to read my sentences thoroughly...i stated i have charcoal pieces resembling tools...i didn't say they were actual tools in any context as my own experience & knowledge is enouth for me to know charcoal was not a material used for tool making, or any wo...

WA...where abouts were you brought up in England, anywhere near Northants? ...devils toenails lol...i used to love finding them when i was a kid...i found 1 only 2 weeks ago which happened to be the biggest iv ever seen, even when i was young id never found 1 this big...i did bring it home with me s...

...my sentiments exactly hence my original theory of being possible votive offerings....possibly Bronze age? but not having reference to any similars leaves me solely with just the objects & no explanation...but saying that i did find a knuckle joint a few yards from the same spot which was date...

...erm, the toughness of the charcoal pieces, obviously very lightweight, very hard to the touch & they are not releasing any Black matter when touched....like you get when you touch coal for instance if you know what i mean. Here are 2 more pieces iv found, 1 is a large heart shaped piece the o...

Morning WA....thats exactly what i initially thought but didnt think it could be after not seeing a similar but spoon did spring to mind.....definately charcoal though....the flint piece as you can see has the burnt end...possible that it was a stirring implement for liquid mould of some kind?....ca...

...this is 1 example of the tool resembling charcoal pieces....almost a mirror image of the burnt ended flint tool......any ideas?....again i thought votive but this is only a guess. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r214/stevehartly/charcoalpiecesameasflintimplemen-1.jpg http://i145.photobucket.co...

understandable if you're not familar with the more scarce of pieces but myself would call it knowledge, but i understand where you're coming from so i will refrain from talking it & just show the pics :) & im sorry if i came across as arrogant, wasn't my intention....a correct date for this ...

I would gladly show you a before & after pic Stan if i had 1 but i have no intention of spending a week cleaning 1 just for this reason...what i will do though is ask a regular buyer whome i sell to to email me 1 or 2 show you can see the out come of the cleaning process....the Slate pieces are ...
