When I went detecting one of my huge filed I found a rock that is flat and dully pointed and looks like a scrapper tool..But while looking at it closer with a magnifieing glass I see small two figures of someone planting and someone looking above,with mountains in backround..I thought I was seeing things so my daughter looked and she sees the same thing..I am going to a mineral show to see what they think...I am thinking something of a dressing decoration that the indians wore ... I also have permission to work this fall after harvesting in a 3-400 or more field.It is a bloch width of driving jus down the road from the one I found the weird rock..Thats huge!I can't wait!!and I am still not done with the two feilds I was working on now that are planted...Found three rocks with the 4 meteorite symptoms also!None marking with scratch test,heavy ( no crust though)rings on all iron and deflects with compass!Just maybe ...I hope! I pray! but in the reserve mode untill confirmed!
 
that sounds very intersting keep us posted on that great find <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
 
If it were intended for wear, it will have a hole drilled in it. Prehistoric American's had no problems drilling through any soft stone and some hard stone. To better bring out the engraving, you can rub white (on dark stone) or black (light stone) chalk over the engraving. It will deposit itself into the engraving and can be washed off. If it is Native American, it could be no older than the Woodland period I suspect. Paleo and Archaic Indians didn't cultivate. When prehistoric cultures began to become static, they entered into cultivation of crops, learned to manufacture pottery for grain storage and eating, developed the bow and arrow, built huts and later (Mississippian culture) expanded into large village complexes with lodges etc. Good luck on your find. It would be a rare one indeed! <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> David @ Dixie
