Rich-- I remember seeing writing like that on one of the TV shows like Discovery. This may have been put in this clay with a stamp type object as the emblem and 2 are pretty smooth. Looks Eygptian to me

Jacko--- 100% sure its not Egyptian,it was found in a very infamous place where ya catch Salmon here in NY,also it was coverd with alot of alge and luck just caught the persons eye who found it and GPS'ed the position,also its near one of the old french and Indian routes to Canada,and also knowing that there is tons of old cellers around "from what im told and seen in pics taken",it might be a trail marker or maybe a clue to somthing........but thanks for the reply

Looks like a T with the letter O imprinted over it then a Number 2 stamp as well. If these are about 4 x 4 inches ,then they could be potter stands...where the clay pots sat on while drying in kilns. Try checking with local stoneware collectors clubs for info on markings . Alot of pottery/stoneware companies rose and fell in late 1800's
