Hello all. I've found a lot of great info from your posts regarding past finds and this is my first post.
First, I'm being forced to post this by my wife! We recently purchased some old growth wooded land not far from the Ohio River and a stone's throw from Serpentine Mound in southern Ohio. My son while exploring, recently came across a stacked stone structure that had a large tree growing through the center of it.
The tree, long dead, had a hole in it about chest high. Inside was an old wood carved figure wrapped in what seemed like deer or cattle skin to my son but he said it turned to dust when he picked it up and unwrapped it. Long story short, my wife is convinced this is some sort of ancient NA artifact. It is dyed or painted in spots and has what I think is a signature scrawled on the base, which again my wife thinks is ancient script of some sort haha!
I believe it is an old stick that someone carved and signed a long time ago but would love to hear your thoughts and get the wife off my back about contacting a museum
