"Also, the hole is not perfectly uniform, which it should be if it were mad-made." Actually, that does not prove that it is not manmade. When, I was field archaeologist shovel-testing project areas for Cultural Resource Management survey, I and other "shovel bums" found that metal, objects are readily distorted and deformed in all sorts of ways while they lying either on surface of buried in the ground. Perfectly uniform holes and other features of manmade objects typically do not stay "perfectly uniform" for long after they get discarded as corrosion and other processes erode and mangle metal artifacts. The pictures at "Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - May 8, 2010" ( http://www.rocksfromspace.org/May_8_2010.html ) looks an awful lot like the stuff I found all too many shovel tests, while looking for real archaeological sites. It would be very instructive for the either the object or a pictures of it be shown a historical archaeologist, who has worked in Southwest United States.
