Some heavier stones may form the foundational composition of geologic features we know as drumlins or mascons. We find these glacial formations around the world, usually along the farthest advance of glaciers. Mascons are geologic features that present as magnetic anomalies. The present site appears to have magnetic characteristics of a mascon, and magnetic compasses are less accurate on these features. We have a couple more pieces of iron to remove from the site, and then we will be able to gain a better understanding of the magnetic features of the site. To side-step magnetic compasses, we are gathering a satellite GPS inventory locations of the stones at the site.
