I remember when the discovery of the rock with the writing was announced on the news years ago. I can't recall the year. The media was not given the details about the exact location of the stone. The story was written in the Peninsula Daily News.

This story appeared briefly in the Seattle Times. It was also featured in a segment on Unsolved Mysteries. In the story, the show did not disclose the exact location of the rock with the engraved symbols. The rock was found in 1988 and is located in Tumwater Creek near Port Angeles. The way the story was told on the TV show, a week after the boys found the rock all kinds of good luck happened to the family. The Steve Johnson family was offered a store in a local mall, and started prospering in their new business.

There hasn't been any explanations of how old the engravings are, or who did them, or what meaning is conveyed by the symbols. The symbols don't appear to be badly weathered. Perhaps someone could photograph the rock and post the picture on this thread.

I actually have a friend that grew up in Port Angeles and still lives there.

I asked him about this and unfortunately he mentioned that the general word around town was that it was a hoax. :/

Hi, I am the original one of 2 kids that found this rock and I have proof. The 2 kids that found this rock was Jamie and yours truly. After Jamie and I found the rock, we got in a fight and stopped talking and I haven't spoken to him since almost 30 years ago but Jamie knows the actual truth, whether he wants to admit it or not. I can tell you exactly where he use to live and what he looks like. The facts that were portrayed in the tv series unsolved mysteries was false or at least highly inaccurate. I have an object in my possession that I found 10 ft away from that rock that I have kept for almost 30 years. This has surely been a good luck charm for me and almost certainly native american. I live in Port Angeles and have lived here all my life. please feel free to ask me anything you want
