What's not a nutting stone

[bean man]

It's kinda starting to seem like I'm becoming more of an expert on what's not an artifact, then what is. Here's one of the biggest foolers around central Iowa. Their Omars, all originating
in the Hudson Bay and brought down by glaciers.

Now those are damn cool Bean dude. If I found them here, I would assume they were nutting stones. Very intriguing!

maybe the indains traded them to other tribes to use as nutting stones---a little export biz---you might be at nutting stone central "factory" ---- Ivan

If I would have found them all in one spot, I would have thought that Ivan. You know me Matt, I was fooled for awhile, but then found them every time I went to the creek and slowly figured it out. If I found one in a campsite location or something I would believe it was used, but coming out of the creek, there's just no way to tell. Pickaway, I get the feeling that your like me in the fact that if I did sell them on ebay, I would sell them as Omars, not anything else and I doubt I would get much. Thanks for the replies guys!

Bean, I've gotta say Thank You, I've been trying to convince people for years that some are natural and over and over I've been met with "no it aint, it's a paint pot" or "it's a nutting stone" and while there are no doubt plenty of them out there people seem to think every single one is, your picture kind of puts that to rest. Of course I never knew they were called omars! Great post and pic!

Your welcome Cannon, you'll like how I shoot some of beanheads rocks down, as soon as I get another camera. I'll give you a hint. Roy was right.

I bet that most people would stand in front of all those scratching their heads and thinking "What the heck??!!"

Those are pretty neat Bean Man!
