scraper
brown chalcedony, 3.25 inches long
age indeterminate
Found July 1978 on ground surface, Wyoming.
A geologist friend found this while we were walking along the sage lands of northwestern Wyoming. He did not recognize it for what it was and threw it back down. I then retrieved it. It is a scraper clearly worked to make it comfortable to hold and use. It has two scraping edges. One to be held and pulled towards you like a drawknife; the other to be pushed away like a thumb scraper. A small notch knapped into one edge of the tool can be used as either a rest for the index finger or the thumb depending on which way the tool is held.

Pot Scraper, the fifth one,
was a funny sort of chap.
When kids were given scrapings,
he´d come to the door and tap.
And they would rush to see
if there really was a guest.
Then he hurried to the pot
and had a scrapingfest.
Near Old Town, down town is slowly growing. The city is a symbol of developement of the country.
