What is this devilry??

Found near a stream where a battle in King Philips War was fought. Could this be one of their colonial communication devices? It was about 6-8" deep...

I think that device is called a F.L.I.P.
It will motivate people to post outlandish opinions while trying to appear intelligent.
F.L.I.P. stands for "Frontal Lobotomy Impulse Provider"

You guys laugh but my track phone is a flip phone. I tell my buddies it's the new I flip series.

Bah, humbug, you are all wet. That is a intergalactic locating device planted by Space Aliens thousands of years ago. You can tell by the lack of roots that the Planter failed to come back to even water it. I doubt that he even fertilized it. I guess he thought it would grow and produce little locating devices on its own.
Not good farmers at all. That's why we seldom see them anymore. I guess 1947 as about the last ones actually seen.
You might have your sample tested for DNA.

Kinda looks like mine. I get picked on all the time, but I can still call people.

May be some kind of primitive code making device?

Actually these date back to Roman times.

Wait, seriously this is an important find. I've read about this thing...it's a sign from Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!
