found something interesting today..

[walkabout]

while going to my car today to fetch something, i found this peculiar looking stone lying about a foot from my back bumper. im not totally sure if its of any signifigance, but considering the flaking properties of it and how it was shaped i think it might be a native artifact. here are a few pics, in the one pic you can see the ridge that runs along the back, it definitly looks like its been fashioned that way, as well as the thinner flat spot on the very back. its covered in a dark, reddish colored substance that im not quite sure what it is. any thoughts on it?

i found something one time i thought as an artifact
later to find out from good folks no here it was a leverite rock 
not sure on that,possible to get better pics
use th "macro" setting on your dgi camera for close up shots,they turn out better that way

yea im not sure if it is anything noteworthy or not, but just the shape seemed strange. i tried to mess with my camera b ut didnt see any macro settings, ill try later to get some better closeups.

look and see if your camera has a setting symble shaped like a flower thats a close up preset .  what brand and model camera is it ?

yup,thats the MACRO seting

my camera is a kodak easy share c310, it doesnt have the macro setting that i can find

alright then try this
take a pic outside in natural light
but dont try and zoom in on it while holding it,for some reason digi cameras like to focus past items when you do this
thats why in your pics the table top is more clear than the item your trying to photograph

from what i saw on the manual it only has one mode so do what sailordad sed about taking it outside lay in the ground and stand over it  or place it up aginst something big so it wont try to focus on the bacground it will be the main focus of the pic. if it has a focus indicator keep moving till the item you want is what it is focusing on you should get some nice close up pic gl

Found quite a few of those...usually some Indian sex stones around the vicinity as well if you know where to look. Heck, even a blind hog could find one of those...
