We did actually find the Los Lunas Mystery Stone. I couldn't update last night because I nearly passed out from being tired. As it turned out, it was an uphill hike -- a very steep one by my standards. After we found it, most of the rest of the group continued up the mountain, but I knew that I couldn't. As bad as my knee was going up (I have had problems with it for several months now) - I found that you have to put much more weight on your legs going down to balance and that made it worse. My knee is fine now, but every other part of my legs ache. More about the mystery stone in next week's edition of Grey Matters and I barely mention my aches and pains. :-)

hey Lesley-- personally, I find any "Hebrew" artifacts in the U.S. Southwest quite likely to be Mormon propaganda. (and truly no offense intended if you're LDS)
The pic I saw on the Binnall page showed script that MIGHT have some Hebrew letters in it IF it were upside down!! Did that rock look like it might have tumbled upside down?
I am not Mormon, but I find it unlikely to have been them (NM had a very low Mormon population). If it is a hoax it would most likely be by Professor Frank Hibben, as I mentioned in GM. I don't know if you looked at the comparison page for the writing, but it is here - http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/15_loslunas.html. The letters seem almost exactly alike to me, but then again it is all Greek to me. :-D
BTW, I do not know if Professor Hibben was Mormon, but I may try to find out.
Oh, one more thing - the stone did tumble downhill from my understanding, so it may be upside down.
