    A beauty of a point! So how did you know that was a bolo stone? I would have walked right past that.

      Okay. I've never really heard of an eggstone before. What were they used for?

      There is several theories but I don't think anyone knows

            Liking both of them but I’m also wondering like KP on the egg stone. I think I would’ve missed it as well. I guess I will have to pay closer attention to the round ones. What age would a egg stone be anyway

              According to some research they were no longer in use after the transitional Paleoindian time.

                “My” spherical beauty belonged to you first, and looks remarkably like your new find, don’t you think? Checkout her pic posted today Shydaman’s 10/18 question “...Round Rock”. And altho what’s-yours-now-mine has strike marks, I’d bet yours sits on little divot, too, and if could, would answer “yes” to “ ever done any whacking?”
