Dorchester Pot
From The Book of THoTH (Leaves of Wisdom)
The Dorchester Pot was a zinc-and-silver vase allegedly mined out of solid rock in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1851. Reported in the June, 1851 issue of Scientific American (volume 7, pp. 298-299), it was blasted from solid pudding stone (a type of sedimentary rock) found 15 feet below the surface of Meeting House Hill in Dorchester. The bell-shaped vessel had floral designs inlaid with silver.
It was recovered in two pieces.
The object was estimated to be about 100,000 years old, which, if true, would earn its designation as an out-of-place artifact. Unfortunately, the pot disappeared after circulating through several museums.
