Awesome Indian find

[troy5rings]

I was using my detector in an area filled with Christmas trees, that my father used to crawl through, when he was a boy and fill his pockets with Indian artifacts when the previous owner plowed it. My detector went off and I dug a 4" deep plug, flipped it and there laid an Indian fishing weight! I took it to my father and his eyes lit up! He immediately knew what it was and it was in great shape. Other than this, only found a 1979 Lincoln penny and a modern bullet. The artifact made the trip worthwhile!

Could be a hammer stone or nutting stone.
