Found tiny oddly drilled shell.

[Ground_Hog_MD]

found odd drilled shell , believe it may have been some kind of jewelry.
shell has very tiny drill holes around it, stripes going around it, and a hole in the top end.

( it was found in the location i have been finding colonial / revolutionary era buttons and other items.
the area also has civil war, slave, Spanish, English, & native American history. i was thinking possibly
native american jewelry, but it also appears that the carving resembles the stars and stripes. so second thought
was a bored civil war soldier. .... just a wild guess, any thoughts ... )

Could it be a whistle? Definitely a great find.

I don't know what it was made into ,but the shell is an Olive shell . Find where Olive shells come from may help you ID it.
