Indian tool or not??? Your opinions please.....

[GOHUNT]

I was using my metal detecotor in a plowed field where I had found a lot of borken pieces of old glass recently. As I was leaving I came across this piece of stone that is almost completely flat on one side and tapered from the center to the edge on the other side as if it could have been a scraper or blade. This purple stone is not real common in the area where I found it.

I don't know. Kinda looks like some type of flaking but I am still learning.

Gotta ask the pro's maybe they well be along shortly.

just looks like a rock to me but i am no expert

Sorry but it doesnt look like a tool or scraper looks more like a flake from point production

Judgeing from the photo, the edge appears to be worked. If thats the case I'd say a scraper.

It appears to have been worked.
Either a crude scraper, or something that was never finished for whatever reason.

a blank maybe, but I'd think just a big piece o chert
