I found this rock while roaming the beach that surrounds The Pond, in Trout River, Newfoundland. It is quite large. The writing below, on the left is an Irish version of runic and on the right of that is your Futhark version of runic. Time has done some gouging on the stone as well, but I believe this is proof of Vikings exploring Trout River. (In the journals I have read by Eric the Red, it was common for Norsemen to stop in Ireland for pretty girls who had the inclination for adventure)
So which do you think it holds?
