Local Native American grinding holes?

SkierBob.. Just fudgesicles.. I really wanted that can for our frame. And, I'm glad to read that an old Bud can may be an artifact that is protected. Somehow that seems right to me. cheryl o7o

This boulder is unique.

I agree with Tall Trees that this boulder is unique. Whether is was an Indian grinding stone or the holes were caused by water remains the question.  Oddly, we have a very similar rock here with pretty much identical holes.. but it is small.. like a foot in length. Mom found it somewhere and we always assumed the holes were caused by water erosion.

Back to that beer can for a minute. In the interest of history I took the time to look up both when 'pull tabs' were introduced and the Bud can labels over the years. Seems like pull tabs were first introduced in 62/64. So, it may be teetering on the 50 years.  And, I could find no Bud can that was blue. So, perhaps another product of the same company. I dunno.  But, I will find this. You know.. in the interest of history and the fact that I want that can.  cheryl o7o

The blue color is a result of my processing the picture.  It took a very heavy amount of processing for the writing to be as faintly legible as it is.  In reality it was nearly impossible to read.  Only a small piece of the can that was curled inside by the bear's teeth had good color on it.

Thanks Joe. You just saved me a lot of time. I will take a pic of the rock we have here with very similar hole markings for comparison purposes. I will then try to post it. Oh, ha ha ha. cheryl o7o
