Another One

[Hal Gorges]

I came across another one this morning. So these were kinda explained in the last post and I have no idea as to what their use was but apparently some Thomas Edison wannabe over at Astor Park had a bright idea, throw a wad of clay on a stick and fire it ..I’m certainly open to any ideas...Thanks

[MondoLithic]

How about weights used with; fish trap in the creeks, or woven mats used as tarps? Only guesses. Any wear on the upper part of the holes?

[Hal Gorges]

What Redrocks said.

[redrocks]

They do look like some kind of weights but being clay they would be light weight right?

[Hal Gorges]

Exactly.but made for suspension.

Maybe they were testing a batch of clay to see if they got the mixture correct?

[Hal Gorges]

I guess I put the comment in wrong box..agreed, at some point they had to experiment, could be some of that goin on, I’ve got some more crazy lookin stuff from that site. Thanks Caleb.

[Hal Gorges]

We’ve kidded back and forth so much I don’t know if you’re serious with this one so Im running silent, Thx Caleb.,

[Narrow Way Knapper]

I was being serious this time. 🙂

Another idea occurred to me. What if it's part of a Bola? Used to hunt small game such as birds.

[Hal Gorges]

Too light and one throw would break the hole..

[Narrow Way Knapper]

Okay, well I guess that answers that.

Really got me scratchin my head!

Those ole boys up in lake county were smokin weed.

I think it is a cooking ball used in indirect cooking. The hole is for a lanyard for easy retrieval from the soup pot.

[Hal Gorges]

Could be..they’d get it close enough to the 🔥 to heat it but not too close that it would burn the lanyard...that makes the most sense...Hey, stay safe Hoss.

Ok, now I know what “lanyard” means!
