Stone Artifact?

[xcopperstax]

Hello artifact collectors, diggers, finders etc.! I found this rock at the beach about 29 years ago when I was 12. It was close to but not in an archeological site which had been discovered by dune erosion. They did a quick excavation before the dune was eroded away. I'm not really sure if they covered it with sand or if they let it get washed away. As a twelve year old I was sure it was a hammer type tool held in the hand or attached to a handle. I later thought that maybe it was a weight for a fishing net. At this point I'm not really sure if it's anything other than a rock. The worn section of it goes all the way around the entire rock as if it's a band. Please have a look and let me know if it could be anything. Thanks for looking!

Well to a twelve year old boy that would no doubt be a genuine Indian artifact. Looking at it my opinion is the darker band part was softer and more prone to the natural forces of erosion of the shifting sands on a coastline, thus it wore down faster than the other rock material on each side of it. If it was one I found I would always revert back to when I was twelve and let it always be that ancient artifact from a people long ago that I found.

Still I don't think anyone could really dispute that long ago a native American didn't stumble across that stone before you and say, wow! This here stone will work perfect for something I need to do.
