ROCK DISCOVERED WITH EMBEDDED ELECTRICAL-LIKE COMPONENT ammo reloading scale, the petradox weighs close to 2.5 ounces (70.87grams). My petradox's embedded compo- nent's rods/pins/ prongs ("pins") are made of some kind of electrically con- ductive material (I assume to be metal) and are of steel-like appearance. The component base/ matrix ("base") is a whitish ceramic or rock-like material, and is not a plastic, . rubber, wood or Close up, top-down view of the mystery plug-like object metal type material. embedded in rock.

In 1998, while on a hike, I found a mys- tery rock with an embedded, manmade-like electrical-like component. You can read at my website of my many trials and tribulations of trying to alert the world to my "petradox" and getting it evaluated by a professional and objective electrical/electronic engineer/technician or geologist. It seems that finding a highly probable, genuine artifact is not enough even to get it responsibly evaluated. [== for decades been and still am an Observed properties & dimensions My petradox has an embedded or implanted modern manmade-like electrical- like component, apparently a connector of some type (see photographs). The petradox's material is solid, natural quartz and feldspar granite (very little observed mica). The Petradox is not an accretion, a concretion, a pumice or a fos- sil. It does not contain any known resins, cements, glues, limestone, mortar or other non-granite binding agents. It is very hard, and is estimated to be at least 100,000 years old. Within an error of about 0.2 mm for all dimensions, the petradox is 61 mm long, 38 mm wide (at its widest) and 22 mm high (excluding the pins/rods/prongs). Using an indicated something on the other side of a pair of dense bushes. I rashly thought that the best way of reaching that area would be to pass between the bushes. However, when I tried, the bushes began to poke painfully and scratch my legs. To get through, I vigorously shuffled my feet and stumbled out onto the other side. Once on the other side, I looked down at my ankles to inspect the damage, and then noticed the petradox a few inches from my heel. The only thing visible of the component was the tip of its three pins. I immediately recognised the pattern as being similar to that used in electrical connectors, and picked it up. It was definitely a rock that I had just kicked up because it had a layer of moist, loose dirt and some pliable root strands sticking out of it—evidence that it had been completely buried between or very near the bushes. I don't know how deep it was buried—perhaps as much as a couple of inches—or the type of soil, or exactly where it had lain. I am semi-retired now (a disabled veter- an) and, unless or until my discovery is officially recognised as a genuine artifact to assure that I will be able to get scientists interested in further investigating the site, I cannot afford the money or time to obtain and secure the site.

However, I found it in a rural area, at least 25 feet (7.62 metres) from the nearest trail (which was dirt and faint), not near any urban areas, industrial com- plexes, elec- trical or electronic establish- plexes, elec- trical or electronic establish- ments, nuclear facilities, airports or military operations (that I was aware of). T he immediate ground was undisturbed. I was hiking in — shorts. One of my instruments Side view of the object embedded in the rock. JUNE — JULY 2004 NEXUS = 63 by John J.
