clipo 871 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) was mooching around the quarry last week and right on the edge there were three piles of dug out earth about 7ft tall each and on the furthest one out i found this stone in it, so that means it was at least 20ft below the ground for f**k knows how many years untill the diggers got to the land!!! i washed it off in a puddle and found the three holes in a line and seen how perfectly round it is!!! looking it up it seems its the same kind of thing that david killed Goliath with........ ive been asking on a fossil forum i found similar stones on and there saying it could possibly be from a hunter from roman times and to get it checked out by an expert , which im trying to sort out now!!! dont think its worth anything but with the three holes in a perfect line and being perfectly round it must be man made...... and to be so far underground and only just been exposed few weeks back its got to have some serious age to it (as whatever its been made into, not as a stone lol) so its defo an interesting thing i thought id share on here as it could of been used by a hunter from 1000s of years ago.............. of course it could just be a round stone............. but im 99% its not...ill let anyone interested in it no when i get it sent off......
