Found this in the fertile sandy loam of a south Georgia farm field.
Stuck out like a sore thumb being there is very little rock in this field.
Looks like the disc plow spoke to it about a dozen times.
Dang plows and artifacts are arch enemies.

Appears to be low grade granite.
Odd that the nut holding divot is within the perimeter of the concave grinding depression.

Archeological restoration?

Great idea. Fortunately this one is made from granite instead of a soapstone. It is aggravating that so much land has seen mechanical disturbance.
