Arry 18,610 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Turning over a bit of ground today in the garden. Thought it was a coin at first or a button bt no hole and its seems to be made of stone. Nearest thing I found of the net is Red Indian gaming discoidal's.

Arry 18,610 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Closest thing I can find is this. There are also of this type, one of very hard black stone (not identified) from Red River county, Texas, three-fourths of an inch in diameter; one of barite from Bartow county, Georgia, one inch in diameter, three-fourths inch thick; and one of granite, from Chester county, South Carolina, an inch in diameter. There are also one of quartzite from Drew county, Arkansas, with a shallow pit on each side; one of the same material from southeastern Tennessee, with a deep pit gouged in smaller side; and from the same locality, three of quartzite, one of quartz, and one of sandstone, each with a deep pit in the larger side. All of these are small and none of them polished. Fig. 104.—Discoidal stone. But the one I have is even smaller and has a flat area in the middle on both sides.

They certainly did use gaming dies and pieces back to neolithic Well the Red Indians used to use gaming pieces of similar shape but a bit bigger. Looks like it's been in the ground a long time all the little scratches when magnified. I'm thinking along the lines of Stone Age. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
