Thanks yakker! It is crazy. I'm still trying to figure out how I could have forgotten about it. All the enthusiasm on here has really got me chomping at the bit. Now, if the snow and ice would melt I could try for some new artifacts... New to me anyway.
PaDirtDigger, I would say say keep your chin up but you'll never find any treasure like that. Lol
I think you're right Tnmountains. A pestle might be closer to its original purpose. I suppose being hafted could extend their reach giving them the ability to stand over their work.
It has the look of a pestle but it isn't smoothed or polished on the working end so I am thinking on a pounder type of tool. Looks to of been shaped for something.
