Triceratops77 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'm in Spokane Washington and found this in the yard today. I'm pretty certain its rock but it is really odd. We did have Native Americans in this area so I thought maybe some kind of grinding tool, but honestly I really have no idea. The guy who lived in our house before us collected rocks according to the neighbors, and I have found a few odd rocks since we lived here but this one seems like it could have a story. The dark spot is water and its all the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triceratops77 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 I thought the same but then I remembered how many Native Americans we had throughout this area, and did some digging online and found a lot of similar images claiming it could be part of a pestle. He is something similar. My grandfather has found over 100 arrow heads around this area as well. I'm not trying to argue and to me its just a rock but it just seems fishy.

ynot Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If it was found in a native american site I would concede that it could be a pestle, but without the provenance that is just wishful thinking.

I'd still love to hear other thoughts. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
