Found this on the Huron River while out fishing. I noticed it sticking out half buried and dug it out. Looks hand carved, possibly Indian artifact?

It's definitely not modern, there are tool marks where the inside was carved out very unevenly and there are no houses up river from where I found it, just miles of river and a metro park
Unless I miss my guess, those appear to be tooling marks from a saw and/or file. I would think that would leave out Native People as maker, unless done rather recently. I do not know how long a carved wooden object like this would survive in a wet aerobic environment. I cannot imagine it would last 100 years unless Lignum Vitae, or all heart Redwood, and it resembles neither.
