Clay Pipe & Arrowhead

Hello,I found this clay pipe and arrowhead in the back of a cave and there was writing on the walls in another section from the 1700's which i thought was pretty neat. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a pipe like this ? The stem part is worn pretty good from where they had chewed on it .

Nice finds
I believe you have a meerschaum pipe there

The pic is from here http://www.thebriary.com/meerscha.htm

Can you show us some pics of the writing you found? Please

Hey Thanks,I hope to find someone that knows about Native American artifacts here locally and maybe give some info on it. I have another pipe bowl that i found in a CW fire pit and it is alot smaller than this pipe,which i thought was interesting of the size difference.

Nova, I think you need a closer photo of both sides of the pipe--with something for size reference. Then folks will maybe get more excited about this pipe. I have personally seen this artifact, and I thought it was incredible.

Very nice find. I Think it looks more like a white mans type pipe rather than native American but thats just a guess. Has anyone ever seen native american pipe of this style?

You're right, it's a white mans pipe, not Native American

In that second pic, it certainly doesn't appear to be a Meerschaum as I had originally said.

The closest I can find to the shape is one that is called an Oom Paul.

Looks like the one Sherlock Holms smoked, but then that would make it English wouldn't it?
