Here I go again! Hot rock?

[COUNTRY GIRL]

I was out detecting yesterday, what a beautiful day. I found nothing worth posting . I like the old square nails. Flat lead strips, old tin, old screw cap........But the rock? I got a dime reading, dug my hole, ran the Vibraprobe around, got it, a rock? Nahh must be underneath the rock? Pull out the rock, run the probe around, gone? So for Ha Ha's I touch the rock with the probe, startled me for a minute. I set it aside, ran the detector back over the hole.......No signal. Set it aside, play around for a bit more, forget all about it until I'm driving home.

I get home, the Hubby is busy splitting wood, so I sneak off grab my rock, wash her up, grab a magnet and it sticks? Now I am really . I patiently wait for the Hubby to finish up. I get him an ice cold iced tea, and proceed to talk as fast as I can. Huh? Let's wack it in half. Now even he is curious! Who would have thought a magnetic rock would have him interested?

It's light, les than a Lb? I've heard of hot rocks on here, is that what I have here?

Thanks for the help AGAIN!!!

Well now you are curious....Gerry is curious....I am curious....who has the answer? lol

Did you find the rock near or below a certain feather?

 

[COUNTRY GIRL]

LMAO! Fairly close?

 

[ghost_rider]

may be a weird question but does it float in water??

 

[COUNTRY GIRL]

No it doesn't float, sinks like a rock.

 

[ghost_rider]

I may be wrong but I though hot rocks floated?!?!

Lodestone, a strongly magnetic variety of the mineral Magnetite.

It is what early people used for a compass on the high seas.

Take your little piece and balance it and see which end points to magnetic north,

just tie a string around it to balance it and let it hang, then check it out.

See? I knew I'd get it wrong!

Needle I will definitely check it out when I get home. Didn't want to carry it around in my purse?

lodestone (caused by lightening hitting an iron deposit -- thus charging it magnetically) or could be a metetor fragment possibly ---

Don't you realize what has happened? You've found YOUR Pet Rock!

The readings you are getting is the attraction waves the rock is sending out to you. It's saying, "Take Me, Take Me" and you did!

Now for proper rock care, the first thing you have to do is take your new friend with you wherever you go. When you get in the tub, take it with you and wash it up nice and clean and be sure and tuck it in snuggly beside you when you go to bed; Gerry is just going to have to learn how to share!

And whatever you do, don't hang it from a string as it will cut off it's oxygen supply and for goodness sakes, don't even dream of breaking it open.

Oh, and be sure and feed it a small amount of liquid calcium to keep it strong and healthy.

ENJOY!

Wes, Wes, Wes, . Welcome back, sure did miss your sense of humor. Thanks for the great big smile on my face. I'll let Gerry know he has competition!

Ivan, I didn't know lightening caused it to becaome magnetic. Thanks!

DEFINITELY a set of petrified dinosaur droppings,
although I'm not at all sure about the dinosaur, or the petrified.


(Ahh, just joking! )
