When you say high hill, would you be talking a hill like a kame, a drumlin or something else?

I think those in the field defending "common knowledge" would have more of a problem with the position your friend has taken about this find than someone like me, who sees it as interesting & an opportunity to learn about things I may not otherwise delve into.

Okay, you got me on the "high hill" thing. Or should I say that you lost me? I honestly have no idea what a kame or drumlin is and I am now realizing that "high hill" is a rather vague term which definition would be greatly dependent on an individuals personal experience with hills. Lets just say that a good portion of Minnesota has gentle rolling hills, with a few specific areas which tower over the rest. I don't know the exaxt elevation of the area in question in sea level terms but do know that it rises up quite a distance from the shore of Leech Lake.

And yes, the topic in general does pose many interesting questions for the experts and the layman.
