    My favorite part about this tradition is that many of these stones have names and are kept in their place. I heard in some places the law forbids their displacement!

    I could see this becoming a regular 20 minute feature on the various stones. Be good to see you fellows take trips out based on David's finds. John Rooney's map would really come alive with that. @Netflix, here is some quality content.

    Ok I'd watch hours of this. I hunted heirloom apples in the southern United States for years just like David hunts stones. And I lift stones.

    Does it have to stay flat, or could you lift it standing up on its edge? I build natural stone walls, and that's how I'd attempt it...

      No lifting on flat is better for putting the back out.😂
