Jacob Palso Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I was hiking in the smoky mountains in NC near Maggie valley when I came across this, what I thought to be a petrified mushroom. It seems to be pretty since I very rarely see mushrooms up in the Smokies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 It looks modern, to me.

Peace river rat Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Value? To me? Toss it in my composter to benefit my garden. As noted appraisals are not done here but I will say this; It's like Antiques Roadshow, it's one thing to declare "this Queen Anne end table is valued at 50K dollars". Quite another to get 50K in your hands. Very subjective. Bottom line? Anything is worth what you can get for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
