Clacton Hand Axe
Anyone been practicing knapping on the beach? If so you dropped your hand axe. closer to two weeks old than 200,000 years, I'd say.

Re: Clacton Hand Axe
thats a great find if its genuine but he may of made it himself, you would of thought it would be a bit more weathered in the sea for so long even if in mud or a sand bar.

In the sea it should be blunt, also there's no patina and it's a terrible quality knapping job. I think most likely someone learning knapping made it and left it there.

Looks like one of the typical upper paleolithic tools that get dredged up from time to time in the North Sea. There must be lot of material out there- dredging finds are coming up a lot on e-bay lately.
