It's actually a paddle from a prehistoric frat hazing.

Fascinating story. To think an oaken tool could last that long! Amazing.
In the attached story, they mentioned that the spade was excavated from the "Moors of Arne", near London.
As a youngster, I read Sherlock Holmes's Hound of the Baskervilles, and more recently saw the scary murder mystery movie in black and white. Upon further surfing I discovered the setting of the novel was the Moors of Dartmoor on the southwestern tip of England.
So I leave the link to the Dartmoor as a great place for intrepid FReepers to roam at night when the moon is high and the hounds are loose on the moor!
