Hello. I found this large stone artifact while hiking this weekend, I thought it looked like an old weapon head or tool.
It has hole indents on the top and bottom. Just looking for some information on what it could actually be, thank you.

Welcome to TreasureNet, I am sorry, it is not an artifact, it is a geofact, a rock formed by simple erosion, with no signs of any work by man..
 

I vote Natural although the hole gives me pause, could be fossils that fell out or maybe it was drilled/ abraded maybe as a bow drill base? But as far as the piece being a tool the na’s hafted axes with grooves more often than not or wedged them into a gap in a piece of wood and they tend to be more well formed. That seems like it would be a heck of a thing to swing. Keep looking though.

I was curious about the hole too, but after blowing it up I can't see any signs of being drilled or used as a fire starter hole.
