Well done, pebblethief!

:o)

You`ve discovered a piece of rock art and saved it from being lost forever.

Hoorah!

It is excellent - must have been really exciting when you spotted it! But (JUST To Be Devil's Advocate) - how did he justify that it's 'genuine' and prehistoric? Could it not have been done with a ten p coin some time last year?? How soft is the stone out of interest? And if it was on the beach is there no possibility it was done by a burrowing scraping mollusc??

just stirring.

But I am genuinely interested in his mode of thought.

Cheers All
Pro - yeah lol - bit too late for his book though, maybe next time ;-)

When I sent the picture to Jan & Gus in Holland they were more excited than me - mostly because I thought it was SO unlikely!!!!
Then their enthusiasm rubbed onto me and I couldn't sleep for worrying about someone finding my hiding place on the island, letting their dog piss on it or something.....

Once in a lifetime? time will tell. I won't stop looking though. People who know me will agree, I spend hours on beaches looking for pebbles, fossils etc, I was the right person to be walking past!

I found unmistakable cup marks a month or two ago at this site...

...that I can find no reference to in any of the local literature. I guess none of you will believe me without photos though! : (

I'll be contacting Stan (who is a friend of my Grandmother's and often to be found drinking her tea & eating her cake) about it in the near future. I'm holding off for the time being, though, cause I need to get back up there with my camera. I think it very likely that there'll be more rock art very close at hand, too, so I want to explore more fully before I get in touch with him.

Pictures coming soon, is all I can promise...
