A friend found this while out deer hunting. I have no idea what it is so I thought I would ask the knowledgeable people here. Eric [Linked Image]

If it didn't look like just a piece of stone laying on the ground I would say it looked like someone removed an old survey marker. It may possibly be just a tool mark left from a quarry where it was cut, The first picture looks almost identical to the mark a coring tool would leave.

No quarrying anywhere around there is a huge rock cliff behind where this was found. No roads anywhere near the area. This found deep in the mountains. Eric

Yankee gold nearby. I know the James gang marked trees to find their caches of booty. A fellow several years around Hot Springs found a jar of coins following marks. Believed to be from a stage the James gang robbed near Hot Springs. Or....it could be the ball holder for a primitive pig castrator.

I'd call it a survey mark.
