I remember the first time I found a omar, I thought I found a nutting stone, lol I learned soon afterwards that it was actually a omar. I could hear a piping plover at one point in the video. The piping plovers are protected in Wisconsin also. Not to many of them around anymore. Your finds are awesome 💯👍

Thank you for watching, we love finding them.

I find a lot of omars down here(Eastern IA). I have to ask whether you've ever found one that appears to have been filled in with some other material? I've only found one that is filled in but what's interesting is that the material the pit is filled in with appears to be the same that the rock is made of...I guess greywacke in this case(maybe that's normal...I don't know?). But you can clearly see where either a pit had developed or was developing. The other rocks I like to find have been ground flat on one or more sides due to scraping while being trapped in glacial ice sheets as they moved across the terrain. If you hold them under a light at low angle, you can see fine striations along the flatted surfaces. It's just fascinating to me knowing that they were traveling in probably miles thick sheets of ice to later be deposited great distances from their inception. I've read that geologists find these sort of glacial erratics useful in tracing glacial movements.

Very interesting. I really enjoyed. New subscriber here

Thank you for subscribing, we are working on several more videos, so stay tuned, we have some good ones in store.

Your content is just so informative and inviting to your subscribers. You seem to really enjoy what you do. Just a question. How do you determine what beaches or what part of the state you go to? Do you randomly big spots and hope you get lucky or do research before you travel? You and Linda found some great omars!

Great video! Would there be any Omar's found today that still contain the substance originally found in the holes?

We have never found one with substance in it . We have also found some where the hole goes completely through. Thank you for viewing and subscribing, we are working on more videos that are very informative and fun.
