My neighbor, who's from a small village on the Newfoundland coast, found an unusual rock on the beach. It had a round bottom but tapered to an hourglass shape, with a 2/3 larger bottom then the top. He had it examined and was told it was an ancient anchor for a small boat, probably carved by a local native tribe. He also found a spearhead that he showed to an Indian at a Pow-Wow. The Indian took a look at it and pocketed it saying that things like that belonged to his people, not white men. My neighbor called over a cop who told the Indian to give it back, which he did reluctantly.
