Talk:Miami Circle

Photographs
One thing this undoubtedly needs is pictures (at least one of the circle, and preferably a couple of closer ones), but I can't find any public domain ones. If you're better at finding such things, great, or if you have a camera and are in the Miami area ;-)

Joshua Billig
"Meanwhile, a plan to move the circle was proposed, and Joshua Billig, stonemason of Rockers Stone and Supply, was brought in to carry out the relocation, but sensationally quit on February 14, 1999, having listened to arguments from the various protesters, particularly the Native American groups." - Amy Billig, missing from the Miami area since 1974 and one of the more notable long-term missing persons, had a brother named Joshua who constructed a stone bench in her memory many years after her disappearance. (I read about it in her mother Susan's obituary and in the CNN transcript from when the Billigs were interviewed in the wake of the Natalie Holloway dissapearance a few years back.) Could the Miami stonemason named Joshua Billig who saved the Miami Circle from destruction be the same Joshua Billig who was Amy Billig's brother? And if so, is this noteworthy enough to be noted in the article or perhaps enough for mentioning elsewhere on Wikipedia? Arcana07 (talk) 02:25, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Net with Poles
Maybe it was a net with poles to catch crocodiles or sharks to eat them as food? For example, this modern net trap near the water has poles and net to trap them http://www.crocodilehunter.com.au/crocodile_hunter/trapping.html. Maybe the teeth in the site, plus charcoal bits were remains of the animals cooked on site after the water recedes?

Potholes not postholes!
The Miami Circle is no mystery! Here in Norway they are found all over in connection with rivers and waterfalls -- must be hundreds or thousands just in this country. In Norwegian they are called "jettegryter" (plural) or "jettegryte" (sing). They are made by river water with small stones trapped and circling around for 100s of years. Picture Google "jettegryte" and you all see many many of them! I see that also North America have "jettegryter" -- they are obviously called "potholes" here. So with a picture googling of f.ex "riverbeds potholes" you can see many interesting examples also in Northern America. Riverbed potholes comes in all sizes, forms and shapes, but they are not man-made! It's Mother Nature who made them, and it's probably gonna take 100s and 1000s of years to make them. Ice-age melting is also mentioned to cause them. Tor, Oslo, Norway — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.71.206.77 (talk) 02:12, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
