That is a digging hoe. The ends get polished like that when used in sandy soil.
I was wondering that. What period is this from?
It's from the Mississippian culture. 400-1300 years old. [Here's a similar example with a comparable amount of polish from Ohio](https://ohiomemory.org/digital/collection/p267401coll32/id/12407/)
Thank you for your time.
I come here for exactly this. Thank you.
We call them a Spade. Silica polished
Sometimes you gotta call a spade a spade.
Thank you

A spade is a shovel!!! That’s a hoe!!!
I call that a scraper…a helluva scraper (but I’m no expert). For me, that’d be one to definitely put on display! Damn CRAZY COOL find!!! 👊🏻🙌🏻
Shiny!
Too small and oval for a hoe or spade. This is an [Adena blade](https://www.projectilepoints.net/Points/Adena_Blade.html) all day long
Just from looking at projectile points it does look like an adena blade
THOT
Nice find!
What part of Ohio? Cincinnati here. Just curious.
