It really is amazing how so many people are "in the box" to the extent that they can walk buy an extraordinary historical find, and never see it.

One day I saw a strange rock that looked like quartz but was egg shaped. I picked it up and brought it home and forgot about it. My little boy was about 3 and reading his dinosaur book and said that egg is just like daddy's egg rock. Closer inspection revealed that was exactly what it was. I rushed to ebay to see just how rich I was. Proud to say I could be as much as $15-20 richer if I ever sold it.

Yeah, I’ve been finding meteorites on the beaches of Massachusetts. It turns out that they are a part of a wave of supernova debris that came through our solar system about 13,000 years ago.

Years ago, my late father had a house at the Jersey shore on a tidal creek 10 miles from Atlantic City. He had an elongated rounded rock shaped something like an Idaho potato, which he kept on the heating stove and put by his feet on cold nights. Now years later I think it may have been an Indian corn grinding stone or something like that.
