I saw "Holy Grail in America" on the history channel last night. fascinating stuff.

can somebody PM me where the rock is? I found out its exact location is kept secret so people don't vandalize it. I'd like to see the stone for myself. Private Property is not an issue. I have a tin boat, can cruise around NK all day with the kicker. Problem is the rock is only visible for 20mins at low tide. I may have to just put my time in, although I think I have a few good ideas where it might be...

Here is the summary from Holy Grail in America

In 1898, a Minnesota farmer clearing trees from his field uproots a large stone covered with mysterious runes. Now known as the Kensington Rune Stone, it details a journey of land acquisition and murder--in the year 1362. Thought by some to be a hoax, new evidence suggests it could be real, and a clue that the Knights Templar discovered America 100 years before Columbus, perhaps bringing with them history's greatest treasure...The Holy Grail. See how symbols on the Rune Stone match Templar ruins all over Europe. History tells us the Templar were massacred on Friday the 13th, but that a Templar fleet allegedly containing treasure was last seen off Scotland in the late 1300s. Stones with similar markings as the Rune stone have been found on islands across the Atlantic Ocean, as well as in Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Is it possible the Templar were leaving clues to an incredible journey to the New World?

anyone else catch that show last night? I thought it was pretty cool

I found it just by paying attention to details of the story & the (2)pictures supplied. I used google earth judging by the description given of the rune stone being off the coast of east greenwich. In the (2) pictures if you look at the one standing from shore out you can see Prudence Island off in the distance , then you look at the (3) guys standing on and around the the rune stone you look in the distance you see a house. It turns out that the rune stone is off the coast near Quidnesset Country Club . It's actually about 120 yds. to the right of the golf course. And for the record it's exposed for 1hr 20mins. I know we were there this weekend and timed it.
