Hello all,
I found this while digging a hole for a new mailbox..As a treasure hunter / metal detectorist, I'm always on the lookout for anything that don't look quite right, and this is one of those things..
I'm in the north central part of north Carolina..It was found about 8-10 inches deep and probably a 1/4 mile from a river..

I thought I would run it by the experts.. Thanks for any and all help,

Scott

Because I'm killer with a bonesaw, I've hafed few cattle with my great uncle on his farm. Looks like the a familiar cut of a hand bonesaw to me. However I did find a bone handle looking for artifacts one time. One from the pioneer people's and not the Native Americans. My guess is that's a cow bone from one butchered on the farm.
