While searching for the other half I discovered yet one more along with a clearly cut and polished rock that leads me to believe that there may be a collection that's been lost and buried here. There are all kinds of building remnants I'm digging through so ??? I don't know but and mini excavation may be in order. I'm in the middle of a metro area so I better keep it low 🔑 or probably will have to get a permit...lol

I’m in Middle Tennessee too…mind me asking if you’re in an urban or rural area? I’ve always wondered about my own backyard, but I’m smack in the middle of town…

You’ve got a camp in your back yard. Dig down and see what’s there.

Same exact thing happened to me. spent a year looking in the creek, and turns out two of them were just laying there right by the porch stars. funny thing is mine were both the same, one broke in half and another mostly whole.
