This picture was found underground around 15 to 10 ft together with this small stone glass with a pointing arrow separated around 2 ft apart. I was wondering why this thing was underground when it was not supposed to be there. Curiosity makes me crazy! Thanks a lot guy edong
I found it on my treasure expedition at Surigao del Norte, Philippines. We are working in the mangrove area that a korean foreigner choose, but he left and did not comeback anymore so I decided to continue the expedition until I get to the bottom about 20 ft below and on the way down we found this artifact or item that piece of wood look like an arrow pointing to that shiny stone. So it reminds me on the movie i did watched long time ago entitled BLOOD DIAMOND by Leonardo de Carpio. Almost the same situation when they found a diamond on the river. This thing was found underneath around 20 ft below the ground so I'm confuse why this is located underground with an exciting or thrilling clue as what i saw with the arrow like wood pointing on the diamond looking item. Can anyone kindly identify wether it is real or fake because I'm hoping to find a real box of treasure instead of this. If it is not what i expected,it may be something else that is worth a treasure.

looks like a piece of bone to me, or a sliver of petrified wood.


interesting

This is an interesting piece.
Can you tell if it's stone, bone or petrified wood?
I can see what appears to be tool marks.
The shape does not look natural.
The bottom end looks notched from your pictures.
Please post straight on pic of bottom, the blunt end.
What does underground mean?
Did you dig it out of the ground or did you find it in underground cave?
Also if you could post the general vicinity in the world you are in, it would help.
At this point I am inclined to say this was worked.

How did the picture survive being underground? What kind of photo was it, was there damage?

It is not the picture that is underground. it is the rock diamond and pointing arrow made of wood. I captured a photo of it to show everybody. it is not specifically that photo that I'm curious but the artifacts that I found when it is somehow not supposed to there underground. Thank you

 

[edong45]

hello Deep1. i updated my post for corrections and the pointing like artifact is a piece of wood wherein it does really point on the direction of the diamond like stone. thank you

 

[Deep1]

The piece of wood has surely been worked by tools.
Notch on the end was made by Tools and I also see what appears to be a symbol on the side, looks like a star.
I still cannot understand where you found this.
Are you digging a 20-foot hole found it in the process of digging that hole?
Or did you find it in a cave Underground?
It looks well preserved.
It is hard to get an idea of age without knowing the conditions it was found in.

The stone looks like normal quartz. Have you looked into the natral stones found in the geographical area? The piece you think is wood looks like an animal antler.
