Hello, this is my first post on Treasure Net. While tilling my garden, I found this object. There were no other pieces with it. To give you an idea of my location, I am in south east Georgia, about 18 miles south of Folkston, GA. Although I haven't searched myself yet, arrowheads and other artifacts are found here fairly easily. The soil type here is very sandy. It's not common to find rocks of any type in the soil, which is strange to me, because I grew up in the Buffalo, NY area, and you couldn't put a shovel an inch in the ground without hitting rocks. I do know that this is considered the coastal plain, and it used to be ocean bottom at one time. As for the object I found, it looks like it came from a rock that was rounded (not round), and split into several pieces. The inside surfaces are very shiny. There are two interesting depressions on the rock that would seem to fit fingers perfectly if using it to form other tools, or arrowheads, but that is pure speculation from someone with no experience in such matters. Here are some pics. If you would like any others let me know, and I'll try to get any other angles that may be helpful.
