I was searching a field here in Central Ohio for arrowheads with a friend, when we came across something else...I have no clue what this could be?
a little back story- It was a friends field and they had just dug some new drainage that went down about 10-15 ft in a few different areas...so we had these huge piles of dirt that had just been unearthed and I had a small window to hunt the piles before they filled the holes back in and flattened the ground back out. It was a muddy mess and we didn't find one arrowhead but we did find this... it seems to be made of black sandstone perhaps? It's a very soft workable stone, had it not been buried so deep for so long I'm sure it would have been crushed somehow. Anyway it's a very uniform cigar shape, tapered at one end with a small hole drilled about an inch deep. The opposite end is nearly a perfect circle and so smooth and flat and balanced it can stand on a flat surface with no problem.
It doesn't seem to be a smoking device because the hole only goes an inch deep and just stops?
Any help at all would be much appreciated! I LOVE this hobby but I am by no means an expert.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, knowledge, or guesses you may throw my way.
Stay safe and healthy, Charis V.B.
