Found this;

approx 4 inch long, with a shaped end and a small "handle"?? could this handle have been fitted into a wooden shaft perhaps??

the "flat" end of the cone seems little mushroomed as if its been struck many times??

Note; I am in construction, thats why Im thinking hammer (I am biased!)

any ideas??

thanks!!

After cleaning it was clear the "handle" was just a roughly attached nail of some sort - used for holding and not heavy use??

Found evidence of a furnace nearby so maybe used in the molding process??

Just a guess here but maybe the natives used this for hollowing out their water craft or dug out . The Virgin Island Natives did this and it's a native handtool .
IMHO, Woodstock
