I'd buy it. Make a little display stand for it. Keep it on my desk and make up a story about it any time someone asked what it was. Good times.

I was astounded when I learned that archeological artifacts, much like rocks, are most valuable when viewed in context to a story!

They could be thinking it's a native american artifact. Sometimes, when people donate, they tell the goodwill what it is they are donating.
Is the left side of the stone rounded like the right, or is there a sharp-ish edge to it, like ground down to the shape of an axe bit.
I have a preform stone axe that looks similar. This is hard to tell with it being so blurry on the left side of the pic.
A preform is a stone artifact, i.e., a tool/weapon that was started but never finished.

You’re wholesome. I was thinking the person in charge had memories of the Pet Rock®

I was thinking the left side looks like it came to a sharper edge. My dad has some like this that are artifacts.

I can't post a pic of mine here.
Edit: Here's a link to it. I didn't label it correctly. It's not an adze, but a preform axe.

Oh my. That looks a lot like my dad’s. I’m from and live in Indiana and my dad’s was found on their farm when he was a kid. They lived near Richmond but just over the border in Ohio. They found a lot of items on their farm, from arrowheads to grinding stones.

u/InDependent_Window93 Nov 19 '24
That is a great area for artifacts. A lot of native american tribes were in that area for a long, long time. I'd keep looking if I were you.

Only if it’s from the Loch Ness region of Scotland.
Otherwise it’s just a sparkling tree fiddy.

u/Strong_Associate962 Nov 19 '24
This was great. Without the 'about three fiddy' reference, I took your number as a likely estimate for how much a new rock might actually go for if a used rock were $1 at Goodwill. Took me until the next comment to get that it was a joke..

Should bring in more rocks, infinite money glitch.

I’ve seen elsewhere that dipping them in koolaid quadruples their value.

Pebbles like this granitic one are everywhere and have no economic value. In any beach or river bank one would be multibillionaire

My first ever childhood roadside hustle was painted rocks! And then painted golf balls... Don't think I ever got around to lemonade. 😂

Must be a Pet Rock! Anyone who’s not a boomer or generation Jones probably has never heard of them, but believe it or not this was a brief but ubiquitous sensation in 1976 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_Rock

u/-Morning_Coffee- Nov 19 '24
Sad to see!
Families adopt without considering the obligation it brings! The result is an abandoned rock with no forever home!

That’s a bargain. If you drove to the mountains to get that on your own, it would cost you at least twice that much in gas.

Remember when some gut made a shit ton of money selling pet rocks. My hero, selling stupid shit to stupid people,
