Sorry, there are no signs in pictures that rock was shaped by or used by man.

Looks like slate.....not a good tool material

True, perhaps used for trade souvenir not for production.

Both are natural stone....

here it's used on driveways. I have thousands that look like that on my drive.

Sure I know, but do you see what is propping them up.

It's definitely millions of years old to say the least. I bet somebody would pay money for a million+ year old stone, heck people buy digital images of monkeys for tens of thousands of dollars and they don't even get the satisfaction of holding their purchase.

That is a true statement, I believe it's definitely very old. Thanks! I like your quote "outlandish delusion".

I have to ask, where are you getting the ideas from about the rocks you are finding? Don't get me wrong, when all of us started out we thgt everything we found was something and sometimes still do but know what signs to look for now.

Sorry, you have lost me. There aren’t a lot of “new” rocks around, unless you are near an active volcano.

Often times newly seen artifacts don't fit the norm which shouldn't be relegated. Uniqueness abound.

 

[fishstick]

Sorry but no newly seen artifacts here but keep up the spirit.

On the plus side/ you have a great imagination

Yeah, funny thing about that quote is when I was a little kid I use to think litterally everything was treasure - even things that weren't. Like I couldn't tell the difference between gold-plated from gold, or even brass from gold, so I would litterally just collect everything imagining it all to be real.

One day, long after becoming an adult, I uncovered the large crate of random 'treasures' I had collected as a kid a decade and a half earlier, and I realized that 99% of what I had collected was junk. But the funny thing was, as I looked through the collection, I discovered mixed in with the junk several pieces of genuine treasure, and one of those peices was so rare and so valuable that to this day I have never found anything rarer or more historically significant than that one item.

So I guess the moral of the story is random chance favors the perseverant.

Appreciate what you wrote. Heads up Lake George NY still has plenty of prospects left, hags!

Other thread got closed, so I let this here

Cool I struck a cord! Thanks!

I'm not seeing a digging tool of any kind, but rather an effigy of a garden gnome or Santa Claus.
