Indian stone?...(Or "Hmmm, cool story) - 6/20/2008 6:48:25 PM    JOETHECROW   Posts: 372 Joined: 9/3/2005 From: Northwestern Pa. Status: offline Thank you all for your opinions and knowledge and your expertise....I returned the stone to my friend Jay,....he's searching out the arrowhead from his daughter, (she moved recently) I'd like to hear from Chris Capley and some of the other artifact folks as well on this object... It has a certain "feel" like it was fashioned and or used alot by people...                                                  Joe < Message edited by JOETHECROW -- 6/21/2008 9:54:07 PM > _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6LqX2v3lvY (in reply to arthur) Post #: 12

Status: offline Hey, sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. Going from the pictures I'm thinking it may be a fossil? The size and shape just doesn't fit any type of artifact that I'm familiar with, like a bannerstone or a pendant. If it is any type of artifact I would it's a bead? The way to know for sure would be to examine the drilling inside the hole. If it's smooth, then it's natural. If it's man made there will be striations from the drilling process on the inner walls of the hole. Here's a drilled artifact that came out of a tobacco field in Kentucky. It's a pendant made of banded glacial slate. (in reply to JOETHECROW) Post #: 13

Status: offline Hey Chris...Thanks for your take on it....The third pic, (I know it's outa focus),...anyhow, were it in focus you could see steps or stirations or where it looked "drilled"....rather than smooth??? anyhow just wondered ,what, with the weird story and all....Your opinion is always appreciated.                                           Joe _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6LqX2v3lvY (in reply to lexdigger) Post #: 14
