Re: central Illinois finds.....
this grinding stone was a lucky find. a shallow lake dried up during a drought and this was laying by what once was a creek at the lake bottom.

Re: central Illinois finds.....
That's a nice haul. Both rivers mentioned and their drainages should be choked up full of points.
