profpan discovered 19 months ago- Amateur and professional archaeologists have speculated about the "Mystery Stone's" origin for over one hundred years. At the time of discovery, the American Naturalist described it as "a remarkable Indian relic." In the next decade sources claimed, "This stone has attracted the wonder of the scientific world, European savants having vainly tried to obtain it."

- "One of the New Hampshire Historical Society's most mysterious and requested artifacts - the 'Mystery Stone' - is on long-term display at the Society's Museum of New Hampshire History. "In 1872, construction workers dug up a suspicious lump of clay near the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, and Seneca A. Ladd of Meredith discovered this intriguing carved stone within the clay casing. Amateur and professional archaeologists have speculated about the 'Mystery Stone's' origin for over one hundred years. At the time of discovery, the American Naturalist described it as 'a remarkable Indian relic.' In the next decade sources claimed, 'This stone has attracted the wonder of the scientific world, European savants having vainly tried to obtain it.' "Frances Ladd Coe of Center Harbor, the daughter of Seneca Ladd, donated the 'Mystery Stone' to the New Hampshire Historical Society in 1927. The Society does not know of any other reported findings of a stone like this in the United States. "Since putting the 'Mystery Stone' on display, the Society has received a multitude of phone calls, e-mails, and letters from around the world. Amateurs and professionals alike are offering theories on the stone's creation. The Associated Press, CNN, the New Hampshire Union Leader, and many other local publications have featured stories on the stone."
