There are two pairs aligned about six inches apart and the single hole visible above the right hand pair has a corresponding one directly opposite it on the other side of the pole. They are clearly 1/8 drill holes that have been filled with something which appears black, and the black has stained the bamboo around it (pitch?). I thought at first they might be cut off screws or nails but they are not magnetic. I can't find anything like it anywhere else on the pole on any section.
Thoughts anyone?
