Indian Grind Stone chunk

Description

Hi, well you've probably noticed that I'm posting fewer bird pics lately, well that's because they are very hard to find this year....don't know why but they seemed to have all but vanished from my area. So what I've been doing is looking for Indian artifacts on the farms of my friends.
  Yesterday morning I went to one field and started looking for arrow heads and such when I found this beauty! It's a good sized hunk of an old Indian grain grinding stone! You can tell it was made by man,by the shape of the stone and the "tool" marks on it!  It's about 4" long, 3" wide, and 1"  thick. What's really cool is the way the stone is textured on the edges, so it could grab the grain when being used.
 Now if I could only find the other part of this stone or even the grind base stone ...well I'd be one VERY HAPPY CAMPER!!!

in this shot you can see the profile of the stone... I'm posting 3 other pics of it.

Finding the base would be cool. The Hawks are migrating through or area now, but I've been busy with family and work to get out and about much.
