This is about rock piles and stone mound sites in New England. A balance is needed between keeping them secret and making them public. Also arrowheads, stone tools and other surface archaeology.

Roonie "In the Woods Near You"
Roonie finds a mysterious stone enclosure in the woods:
Also those speculations about the meaning of quartz. Where did he get that "some people say"? One of them was quartz is a channel for the soul. I heard something similar but that quartz was "neutral" about it. But I wonder who is talking behind this young man.
That could come from almost anywhere, including here at Rock Piles. Pages 296-7 of Lucianne Lavin's book pops up mentioning quartz as a "spititual conduit" https://books.google.com/books?id=T-7eCKy83cEC&lpg=PA296&ots=_r0nLOTeFe&dq=lucianne%20lavin%20quartz%20rock%20piles&pg=PA296#v=onepage&q=lucianne%20lavin%20quartz%20rock%20piles&f=false (and search the phrase "Lucianne Lavin quartz rock piles" if that link doesn't work). At 2:00 in the Roonie video, as Roonie's dad pans down the vein, an imaginative researcher might ponder if that might be a snake, downward pointing head and a chipped out eye. There's another Roonie about stone walls, more "everybody says" that could come from almost anywhere - https://youtu.be/LEzKm4kFw04
That is one observant kid.
