Hi all,
I have viewed several of these most interesting and mysterious objects in museums and shops.
They often appear in magazines and archeological reports.
I have my idea what these works of art are do you?
This is a GOOD read never the less.
cheers ljb

Your link goes to a "page does not exist" page.
What is the story and/or pics describing? What do you think they are?

Hi Hero,

Let me see if I can get the link fixed first.
If and when you read the article which is a stunning one on the subject,
and present your idea. Then I will gladly reveal mine.
Fair enough?
cheers ljb

Since your link doesn't work can you at least give some sort of summary on what your OP is about and maybe your opinion too?

Is this Link where you are trying to go?

I have always wondered if my find was one of these rocks that you are speaking of.

Hidoob,
It's pretty much there in the OP.
These drilled stones are shrouded in mystery.
Try to find the page of the (blog) I guess. Try a cut and paste of the article heading into your browser.
I am at a loss to get the proper info up for you.
I think it is important to have a look at the info prior to discussion.
Not trying to be obtuse ljb
PS of course unless you are familiar with these bannerstones already and have an opinion

I did read it. I find these things very fascinating. I love to just walk around and look at rocks. I have picked up several that look man manipulated. Please see my pic in the edited post above for one of my favorite finds. It may be nothing but I still think it is pretty cool.

Wow nelly,
That's one big picture.
It is hard for me to tell with out seeing the whole object at once.
I can see light through the (what seems to be the right side of the rock.
Bannerstones are usually drilled directlly in the center of balance.
Any chance you could resize the pic??

I think the holes in these rocks tell a lot about them. Although there are numerous ways holes occur in them naturally.
Sometimes mud can harden around a softer cylindrical object. And then the softer material dissolves away with time.
One place to find some of these type rocks is on the beach north of LA.
thanks for the interest and input ljb
Ps Stick around and I am sure the members here know how stone can be hand drilled with out metal.

Looks cool.
I think the bannerstones as I have already said are drilled in the center.
The one in your photo may be a Plumet? If it drilled by man or not.
Do you mind revealing where you found it?
Creek, mountain top, desert, woods etc.
