I've seen warhammer stones just like that all across Ohio.
They were used as battle clubs, or hunting clubs. That one is rather large, but I fail to see where the Nephilim come into play. The Natives from this area (I live in Ohio) primarily used stones like these as everyday implements, although some say there were ceremonial clubs as well. My dad found a stone club head just like that from the area but it was only about 2 pounds and more oval shaped. Archaeologists from around this region regularly find arrowheads, flint pieces, and club heads similar to this one. The Ohio Valley area and state were well populated with a mixture of cultures well before Europeans settled here.
Very good find, and good pictures but I don't see where the Nephilim fit in.

I solely base the nephilim claim due to what the size of the person would have to be that wielded this thing (10-12 feet tall effectively) Goliath was this same size.
In the original stories, the Greek "Titans" were 450 tall, these were in fact the original Nephilim. (Which would explain cities like Baalbek etc. The giants mentioned by the two spies after the Jewish exodus were speculated to be 35 feet tall, so technically goliath & this one would be fairly small, just the nephilim genes dying out over time.
Anyway that's how I see it. I didn't make that title just for "hits", I genuinely believe it.
Maybe later I can get my friend over here and I'll go so far to find out the place he visited anyway by name, and if I'm really upto it I'll provide a google maps location where he found it. (We're both geeks about this kind of thing so I doubt it'll be that much trouble.) So stay tuned! lol

Well unlike most of my church brethern, I actually believe bigfoot is a form of nephilim, seeing as how the head is cone-shaped much like most of the skulls are that are claimed to be nephilim.
I do however, have to disagree with you about one part, and that's the fact that this would be any kind of homo-sapien species. Every nephilim skull I've ever seen on video had TWO suture lines in the skull, not three like every other human being born; so at the very least, it's of a different genus, yes?
Maybe you didn't mean it that way,or maybe I misunderstood you, just saying.

i apologize for my overly aggressive response but this is no different then bringing a peace of toast that looks like jesus is on it and saying i found god the bibles real. theres 100 different things it could be and a Nephilim war club isnt anywhere to be seen on the list.
I'm probably a little biased as I've had family and close friends try to shove all kinds of pseudo archeology down my throat all with "good intentions" all the while wondering when il start ponying up that 10% every wednesday and sunday.
religion is a bad cult that just because most of the people are good happy people doesn't mean they aren't trying to recruit to their cult. this post could inspire some 14 year old to go study OOPARTS and he could get sucked into a life of lies. mind you their are alot of OOPARTS but not the way the churches in texas and ohio would have you believe. just because religious people seem all well and good intentioned they are not. its an addiction like any other and validation through peer acceptance is rampant in the church.
so much face palm.....
grats on bringing the picture to us and thank you for that. if it really was what you say wouldnt it warrant maybe a phone call to get the DSLR? OR maybe a visit from the world press? i think some one needs to call neil degrassi tyson, let him know whats up..

there are many many more examples of mega construction beyond baalbek and 450ft tall?!?!?! baalbek is only 10 meters or so..
the sad thing is the whole flood thing isnt far from the truth. some where long long ago a huge catastrophe messed our planet up something fierce. whether that be 20,000 ago or 10,000 ago but more then likely around 15,000 ago. it set back the clock on alot of things like construction methods and world history. I'm not saying i know what happened or how it happened I'm just saying it happened alot longer then 4000 years ago.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt that all you say is true, I accept your apology, but I'm not trying to convert or persuade ANYBODY. I gave you what I believe my beliefs were on it. I'm not entirely ignorant on the subject, I've studied several dozen outside sources on the AD age, including other religions of that era also. (I personally believe that Nimrod, Gilgamesh & Osiris were the same person)
My friend didn't say the person that wielded it was 10-12 feet tall, an independent person in Morgantown did. Neither of us are qualified to make that determination, nor would we. We're not perfect human beings by ANY means, but we don't lie to make things fit our way of thinking, we change our assumptions or look for reasonable alternatives.
And ftr, I absolutely adore Tyson, he has a brilliant mind, but the idea that this is going to change anyone's perspective of how life began or the bible is real or anything else like that is kind of naive. Science is it's own religion. I've read numeroud reports of the Smithsonian finding these bones of giants (and not the fake ones that were Photoshopped in Egypt either tyvm) and just flat out stealing them b/c it didn't fit with the Darwinian "theory".
(Don't take my word for it, there are at least several dozen newspaper clippings circa 1880s & onward that talk about these bones that are no longer "around".)
And fwiw I'm sorry for the way you were treated by others like me. I know I have an attitude sometimes, and am more egotistical than I should be at others, but overall however those ppl treated you were just plain wrong & you do have my sincerest apologies.
Take care.

So I have a friend who is a retired minister who one day knowing my interest in antediluvian studies brought over a rock with an interesting story behind it.
Here's a closer look.
He found this just south of Youngstown Ohio near a crick, and took it to someone who deals with antiquities or archeology near Morgan town (I think, I admit I really wasn't paying attention at this point I was too busy drooling) and the guy told him that it had to be wielded by someone who at minimum was between 10-12 feet tall due to the size of this stone.
To give a much better understanding of the size of this thing, I placed a 20 on my coffee table.
The other interesting thing he said was that he noticed (the curator, not my friend) was that the leather patina was still intact in the groove of this stone. I estimated theoretically b/c of the patina still being intact & both of our belief in the bible, theoretically this could be anywhere from 3500-4000 years old. (It couldn't be older, otherwise the flood would wash it off imo)
I took these pics in my living room using a droid razr m on hdr settings, sorry I didn't think to borrow my mother's dslr camera for this, but this was on the fly, so...
Anyway I just wanted to share my lil bit of history & see what you guys thought about 'em.

I didn't take the time to weigh it, but honestly it felt like between 5-7 pounds.
I should've took side shots, it hadn't occurred to me, sorry.[quote/]
Here's my six lb single hand sledge.
I'm hardly a giant and at five six not any where near twelve feet tall and I can swing that all day.
Isn't it more likely a Shawnee war hammer head or even a net weight for fishing, which it looks very much like.
