most rocks posted are natural, but this one is different.

the 2 incised lines that meet at a 90 degree angle, do not look natural.

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

Straight and 90 degree angled natural rock features can and do happen. The rock shatters (heat, pressure, etc.) and the cracks fill in with sediment, quartz, magma, etc. After a few million years of weathering and tumbling the rock fragments and the smaller stones turn up.



You can also get mechanical incised lines from movement of other rock surfaces. Or even road graders. And again the bigger rocks weather to smaller stones.

Oh I meant to ask... Was this found on Oak Island... ? ? ?

From the marks alone it looks like a Viking Templar made it.


(... :P... it looks as though the OP bailed... so ehhh jokes shouldn't matter / hurt)

a Templar rune.....

Yet the rules still matter.....

It looks a crossed sticks with an Arabic letter "4" next to it? We still use Arabic letters today. It might not be man made, or it may be man made. Nature does not make a lot of parelell lines with lines purpendicular and at 45* angles. If it is only a peice of something, maybe try to puzzle it into some known American Indian decoration designs. Might be part of a stoneware pot or something alike. Maybe.

No it's an Indian artifact and I found it around an encampment area

From reading the past post ups from the OP it seem when the membership isn't saying RAH RAH Congrats YOUR TOTALLY CORRECT in the research and conclusion of the in-depth study/research that has been concluded, then it's slighting the OP generally. Has done here and done it in there posting of articles. Seems that when a simple question is offensive to the reader (OP) one has to really wonder why they even post up in the first place.

I'm wrong here on a daily basis yet my butt remains un-chapped . If you don't agree with the assessment of your rock that's fine, call it what you'd like, I'm sure no one cares.

 

[Garscale]

All you haters saying its natural...psshht... its clearly a Clovis TicTacToe board.

 

[How Lucky]

I have one very similar. Kept it because it looked interesting.

That one might actually be a tool. I have found stones used as edge grinders with similar grooves. Grinding was part of snapping and hafting for thousands of years.

Samaritan, as in from Samaria, in between Judaea and Galilee? Cool. Was the ancient river bed the River Jordan?

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

Why would geology be "hate"? I don't understand the jump.

Get real. Or get educated. Both are good.

Okay sorry for not handing it more professionally. For each post I've had I foolishly spoke when even tho I've done extensive research and asking the random person what they see without any pressure, insite, or reason to lie. First impression/reaction tells a lot about what things are or are not. Show someone brass and gold, silver and white alloys, their reaction says it all even with the untrained eye. But I appreciate any criticism and skepticism because that makes me work harder at proving I'm not just some idiot saying this is this and that is that but am just full of **** off my rocker and going nowhere with my life and not progressing in knowledge. It is nice to see someone actually taking me seriously and know that there are sometimes reasons to believe without tangible evidence that have been true to what "the crackpot" said.

Now to move on sorry about the one pic 4 times my phone is a pain in the butt. I'll upload a couple other pics from different sides. As I said I was about 2- 2 1/2 foot down in ancient river travels on the klamath river. I know that I've done plenty of rock hounding and gravel moving to know what natural lines look like vs. something carved. No it wasn't on oak island but I did live on an oak island in dunsmuir where all the trees on this .8 acre circle of land were all oaks that were grafted blue and black oaks. Was a homestead from early 1800s and was a native sacred spot with possible Spanish or Jesuit influences. But do to possible threat of life and complete isolation from all surrounding people. We left and sold the property. So no it's not from some TV show theory....
But since I found this well actually my wife. I have found 2 caves in the near by rock faces. Have yet to go in...and several marker trees, elbows, hoyo trees and fruit trees where there's no reason for them no remains of homestead or other evidence of a building... tepee clearings tho. This woulda been on the modoc trails and definitely old inhabited land.also for how deep it was I'd believe that it woulda had to be at least gold rush times or earlier do to the lack of flooding in the area that woulda moved that much land that high up on the bench but who am I to say.
