    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.

    No but I do a lot of hunting around spoon river and it runs into the illinois river. I don't have anywhere to hunt around illinois river but spoon is pretty good also

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