The guys I was shooting with when I found the nutting stone got a big laugh out of me walking all around the field, after we finished our limits, turning over every rock I saw. Destry
I've always wondered about whether nutting stones were actual artifacts or just the result of what is called "Pot-lidding" which is what happens to some kinds of stone when a prairie fire rolls over it. The heat pops a characteristic circular pot-lid shaped piece out of the stone and it looks man made. I am looking at one now on my desk that I picked up on a goose hunt in Saskatchewan. Artifact or Naturefact, I still don't know...Geo
I have noticed the very same result when I have heat treated flint for knapping.
