    Umm its been awhile and so I am having trouble with this bizarre artifact I found digging.
    On a cool morning I spotted this show and tell.Once several hobbies I hardly understand,looking for arrowheads.
    it seemingly were many indians in this area, at my spot where I found this intersting looking rock.The rock in tennessee does look like this such makes me believe I have found something cool,but if you have an idea of what I have found please come forth
    Ps ..this is about the size of a large hand

      hello its a thrill ,to find something on my place of interest to others.I estimate it to be a half inch to 1 and 1/4 inches in thickness.AS my curiosity gathered it might have been machete end..It appears theres a grove ,to tie a handle on.The holes do go thru,although only two are visible.I pushed the soil out to see if they did.Those hole are a sign to me that the handle was tied and strung down thru these holes.It is slate rock/found in a spot of cedar trees I had cleared with a dozier,.I dug about 8 inches of the surface off.That other side is shown,but I will take more pictures in better light........thank you bobby725,give me a day to post a few more pictures

      Psst. Thanks for the channel. I would be lieing if I had a clue of what you were talking about,,but I know that stone is similar to a bird,, like you said..I think I will call it an authentic bird stone.

      A “birdstone” is different.......this is a stone shade like a flying bird. To the left of the stone is the head. To the bottom is the extended left wing. As if the bird was gliding......yes, I’m a collector. Have been for many years. Somewhere in a box, I have a stone shaped like a flying bird......I’ll have to dig it out and send a photo.
