If this is real are they valuable? Thanks for your opinions

It looks like a pecking stone....or hammerstone but my small screen doesn't show close detail of wear or peck marks.Post in NA forum lots of good knowledge there.

That is one unique find. Congrats

Looks like a grinder or pecking stone

granite readily takes that shape, I can find those all day long on the beach. I would say 100% natural.

I agree. Looks natural to me too.

Yo, Fred

Ran into this on the internut & tried sending it to you as a reply to your PM. Then as a new PM. When that didn't work either, used the search feature to (try to) find your post. When THAT didn't work, searched every post you've made until I found it. Lotta hassle for a not-that-big-a-deal.

Thanks for the PM of the video. Tried to reply but no go. Deleted some PMs, thinking that might be the problem, but not so. Looks like I can receive them but not reply.

Wish the pic was clearer on that piece, almost a looks like carving on it. I try and forget a lot of those posts I made.

Sure, in some places you can, no doubt.

In many other similar places you won’t find a one.

in over 45 years of pouring concrete and having had thousands of loads of gravel hauled into various job sites, and grading millions of square feet with it I can assure you we don’t have them here naturally. So, that being said, The other day find this at the bottoms edge of a pile like it rolled right out.

It’s the same
material often found used in other hardstone artifact forms around here.
Im thinking mine isn’t natural, and there a chance that Fred’s just may not be natural as well.
the two in the first pics are disc shaped and highly polished. The other a grooved maul.
