✅ SOLVED 4 Feet underground dug up.... Need help identifying specifics.

[Swampage]

As we dug a grave for our pet cat today, we were about 4 feet in the ground and retrieved this artifact. From what I can conclude it's some type of stone axe or tomahawk from an Indian tribe of some sort. I do not think it is a recreation, nor do I know which era it's from. I am located in Southern New Jersey and would like to know more about this item. THANK YOU

You dug a 4 foot deep hole for a pet grave?

 

[Swampage]

Yes as a matter of fact we did. He was a large cat, he needed a big hole... Vet gave us a nice sized box for it as well. So yes, the hole was about 4 feet deep.

Yeah. We've found other things in the ground around that area over the years.. It's pretty cool to see.
