Hi Jim, list - In all of my Adena and Hopewell reading and site visits I have never seen anything like this object or read a description which might match it.
The object was reported "near" an Adena site, but since all of those sites were prime real estate which was re-occupied by colonists, it is likely that this object is modern. Where exactly was the location? I note the surface revealed by the carved initials - Could it be water rounded coal? A stream boulder blackened by fire? The symmetry is baffling. no joy this time, so good hunting, Ed --- Jim Strope <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anybody have any ideas? > > Obviously not a meteorite but here is the story. > > "I have a friend who has what he thinks is a > metorite which was disccovered > near an adena indian burial mound by a grave digger > in 1894 and given to a > doctor for a medical bill.
