If you believe the whole 1492 Columbus sailed the oceans blue and that was the first anglo in the "New World" you are naive.
Huh? I congratulate you on a cool theory and all I get is disrespect...A lessor man may tell you to kiss his posterior but I won't, I won't... like hell I won't, kiss my *** Soty. I'm just kidding ya. I thought it was pretty well known that the vikings beat Columbus or the Spanish here by a great margin.
Any ideas of the type of rock that this bad girl was chipped away from? Walking along with my girlfriend this afternoon, a flaked edge caught my eye, carefully digging it up, this appeared. The horizontal lines are neat but nothing that I've ever seen before.
CoveyMaster, my mom lives just south of Nevada MO. I'll be hunting there this fall a little bit. I'll have to ask the family if anyone has found any arrowheads or the like.
Cool, I don't know specifically around Nevada but my family has found quite a few on over around Eldorado Springs and Stockton over the years. I can imagine what that rough country must have been like back in the day with wild ingines running around on the loose.
Interesting. It's been a while since I've researched it but at the time I kinda came to the conclusion it was fake based on the fact that it seemed odd that while being pursued by Indians they had time to etch a stone and describe what happened. Secondly, the family of the guy who found it ended up using it as a step to get into a shed after people didn't believe it was real. Seems strange they would do that if they really did find it like described. Also, most experts several years ago said it was fake based on the style of writing at the time it was supposedly from. Don't get me wrong I would love for it to be real it just seems really sketchy. Hey if nothing else it provides a little tourism $ to the Alexandria community, which may have been the idea all along.
Well they have not been able to prove the age of the etching is false, or faked at the 1898 time frame. Do a google search and there is a study that is very interesting.
Sorry to break up the "pow wow" lol..I'm funny. Anyways, I posted this picture on Facebook and someone said check out the face in the lower right corner. I blew it off thinking that they were trying to be funny talking about the quarter...but when someone else brought it up to me again tonight, I took a closer look and wow, kind of a creepy. Do yall see it? (I'm talking about the arrowhead with the lines, by the way.)
Sota, I'll research it some more sometime soon. Been about 10 years so maybe some new things I haven't seen. BigPhil_H it took a while but I think I see the eye and part of the face you're talking about and it is kinda creepy. The eye I see is pretty much center right.
Found these this morning in a local creek. The one is a perfect cube. Not sure if any are natural or man made or how old they might be if they are man made. Any guesses? This one may be from a post in cement, I didn't really inspect it before leaving
