Pipe bowl

Hello I was wondering if anyone could tell me how old this pipe bowl is,

Need to know if clay, metal, bone, or unknown. That could help identify an era.

I’m not sure what it’s made out of it’s not metal

Looks clay. Unfinished. Not long from the mold when lost. Excess not removed from mold lines.
Late 18 to 1900's. Where did you find it.
Doesn't look like it was in the ground. Usually go gray from soil.

I thin he meant he was detecting his yard when he found it.

From the picture it does look clay! HH jim tn

Still
A great find. So few survive.
It may still need to be fire cured.
Now make a long stem for it and put it to good use.
Usually a very mellow spoking pipe.

That is a cool looking pipe bowl. I have never personally found one, and am not an authority on pipe bowls, but yours looks old. Great save. Congrat's. Do you happen to know any of the History that is attached to your property? It could give you some idea into dating this pipe bowl. Well Done.

The only thing I know about the property is that it belong to my grandma parents it was a working farm back till 1945
