Meet The Macintosh Stone…. Why Should We Care?

Ok, here’s part of the puzzle of the “Macintosh Stone” ….

One day in the mid-80’s, a mineral collector in northern Michigan named Charlie Macintosh was working a cliff about 50 feet above Lake Superior; as usual, he put the good stones he dug out of the dirt in a bag and, once back home, began giving them a much-needed cleaning, before he began polishing ….

Then, he stopped.

One of the smaller stones … about the width of two dimes — like a million others Charlie had picked up all the years before — was different–

It was covered in tiny “hieroglyphics!”

Thus began a major mystery–

What was a tiny, ancient-looking “amulet” — a carved stone covered in what appeared to be Middle Eastern “writing” — doing, half-buried — across thousands of years, and an equal number of miles — on the shores of one of the Great Lakes?

Join me, and my guest tonight — travel writer and citizen archaeologist, Ron Rademacher–

For … as Paul Harvey used to say — “the REST of the story ….”
