Hello,
I was attending a memorial service on Sunday at Oyster Bay in Washington State. Oyster Bay is to the West of Seattle across the Puget Sound. We have all sorts of little bays, inlets, and lagoons in our area. I grew up across the street from Burley Lagoon and walked the beach constantly but never found anything like this. Oyster Bay has some pretty substantial tides this time of year and the tide was very far out when I went to walk the beach. I found this and my first thought was it could be an arrowhead or other type of stone tool. It looks like it's made of slate or churt, very dense dark gray with a little shimmer, good heft and fine layers I'm assuming if it is an artifact, the material and time laying around in water, mud and sand may have made it so dull and rounded.
OR! It's just a piece of rock! Hence this post. Any insight would be greatly appreciated
My primary hobbies are collecting antique violins, vintage SW Native American jewelry and antique Victorian jewelry. So if any of y'all have a fiddle laying around, or grandma's ring or some turquoise jewelry, I would be happy to share my knowledge!
Thank you,
Jeny Mahon - Seattle WA
