Dug up a decorative stoneware shard (looks early to mid 1800s) and THIS was fastened to it with hardened dirt/rust/mud-- I don't know. Anyway, chipped off the crud that kept it fastened, and this thumb-sized (maybe a bit bigger) glass or resin or whatever, was freed.
It doesn't look like broken off glass-- if anything maybe it looks SLICED not broken off at the side. That it might be a small bottle makes no sense because it doesn't look thick enough to contain anything nor does it look like just a side of a bottle. In other words, it seems mostly contained and complete as it is. But what could it possibly be or have been used for? Amazing how many ground finds just make no sense.
The pic shows the somewhat cruddy face and the pretty crystal clear side that looks sliced (looks grey in the pic because I guess its reflecting the scanner lid above it). It is lightweight. Again, just a little larger than an average sized adult thumb-- length and width-- if the thumb were laid on the face of it.
