Mystery Item- help ID ing

[_Rockie_]

Hi I am new here and pretty new to hunting artifacts. I found this tonight on Nantucket Island. Any ideas what it is? Thanks for any help.

A rock?

 

[_Rockie_]

Okay. Just thought maybe it was something due to the unusual shape and scoring on top and bottom.

I’m gonna say it’s a .... rock

Welcome to tnet!


Keep looking, Don't give up. Read up where others have possibly found artifacts, and study what type of areas that artifacts can be found. Never give up, it can be a rewarding hobby. Good Luck!

Hi! And Welcome!
That’s a very weird piece. I’m not sure either way. It’s just too far out of the norm from what we see.
Could be something though. Nantucket is a promising place to search.
Clearer photos may help.

I was thinking fossil when I first saw it.

I would have picked it up too. Best way to hunt for artifacts is to watch for anomaly. Your on the right track!

Hi Rockie...We Are Getting A Lot of...Hammer Stones...Located Recently!

Welcome to the Show!

I would state that the groves carved into these stone are to secure the bindings.

Nice find!

Looks like maybe a fossil.
