Welcome to Tnet! Well it looks like a gaming ball in a few of the pictures (colonial era) but is it egg shaped? If so may just be a rock bud.

Was it found in association with other artifacts? And could you take a closer photo of the flat looking spot in the photo of you holding it?

 

[budsmith19]

It is wheel shaped almost perfectly . I found it while turkey hunting in the ozark mountains of missouri I live in Mississippi so I never looked for any other artifacts in that area

 

[GatorBoy]

Probably just a stone. Tumbled in a stream or river at one time. If there is a spot on the edge that looks like it has been struck numerous times it could be a small discoidal

 

[budsmith19]

I found it on top of a flat ridge several hundred feet above a creek . It rolls with no wobbles on its edges just like a wheel would . Too flawless in my opinion to be natural . Just never have seen anything exactly like it

Hammer stones come in all sizes. But here is a list of things it might be. Hammer,grinder (like a mano), game ball used for a game called stick ball. If it is oval in shape and is flat on each end it could be a Bolo Stone. There has been some thoughts that these type of stones have been used in slings so it could be that also. Mystery stones is what I like to call them.

Food for thought! You ask if other artifacts had been found in the area. Then you say stream or river tumbled. Think about that. Water = artifacts

I was referring to the stream or river being the ONLY way it turned out looking that way. You should think about that sometimes. SHAPE DOES NOT EQUAL ARTIFACT

 

[budsmith19]

This rock was found in a place no water or stream could carry it

 

[GatorBoy]

I'm sorry BudSmith I was commenting on NCfeildhunters remark. I'm not at all sure what you have there. If an artifact then discoidal would be my guess.
