What is this? Can you help

I think it is a fishing weight. Elk River. Pineville, Mo.

If it was in our area of Ga. and it is soapstone it would be a boiling stone where it was placed in a fire and dropped in food to cook.

If it was laying around the Great Lakes it would be a rock but keep looking artifacts are out there.

That would be a rock with a hole in it in California

its cool looking [ the last picture makes it look like a stone age flip flop]

I think it would work just fine as a fishing weight, not with modern rod and reel, but with a primitive hand line?, sure. Whether it ever was, who knows?

Greetings from Pineville. Looks like you found the holy rock!

Hagstone. Completely natural.
