re: Think I may have found an old Indian Cutting Tool.

This is defiantly one that fits in your palm and as far as the edge goes....it's pretty sharp. I'm sure it's wore down and weathered but it's still sharp enough to cut flesh. Probably a tool used to scrape deer hide or something of the such. Need some warmer weather.... water was pretty damn cold. They have some natural springs in my area that feed into the creek. Warmer weather is welcomed in open arms.

It has been chipped and worked for sure.
Looks like it was intended to be a hide scraper,or a hand ax,but never finished.
Search more around the area,you might find some other stuff.
Where those springs come out of the ground,that's where you want to really search closely.
If there are any fallen trees around,search those roots close.

Best to go after a food plot or field is plowed and it rains. They just sit right up on the surface.
Someone was definitely working with that rock. Cool find.

Looks a lot like an Indian love stone.
It's a fricking rock!

King George Island
Here is a link to a study of the King George Island Indian mound in Livingston parish. If you scroll towards the bottom you will see pictures similar to yours.
It has definitely been worked. That's either a scrapper of a preform.

Yes, it's either some kind of "scraper" tool or the back half is broken off and it was a knife or point.

You ever find much on the TN river, Teague? I've got a couple of crude arrow heads/spear points....very early design..not of a "modern" tribe...but early tribal.

Not a lot. I think I have a couple from around the river. I've never really looked much. I have quite a few that I picked up on sand mountain where I grew up.

I grew up about 5 miles from The Tennessee River,and spent a lot of time hunting artifacts.
Most of the good stuff that was on the riverbank is covered up now.
You can find a lot diving,but it's really illegal.
Up the creeks that run into the river,that's where I had my best luck,along the edge of fields near the creek,and areas where there are really good springs.
There on The Arsenal there is still a lot of good stuff,but it's too risky to go after it.
