Man Uses Rock As Doorstop Every Day Until Scientist Comes

The man must have thought it was something important for him to drop everything so suddenly and drive through to see the rock he’d been using as a doorstop. An hour had passed before he heard the car arrive and watched the man step out.

The expert froze when he examined the rock, eyes wide. “Do you have any idea what you have found?” the man asked, no doubt in awe. After hearing the question, Ben knew he had found something that would change his life forever.

New Purchase

The old couple agreed on a price, and Ben smiled at them as they stood in front of the old farmhouse and its surroundings. He had bought the farm, and he could move in whenever he liked. His dream life was finally starting to materialize.

As previously done, he needed to care for the crops and fill the grounds with pigs and cows. He was eager to learn despite never owning a farm before. He decided to walk inside his new home, and that’s when he saw something odd.

Something Fascinating

The farm was located in Dexter, Michigan, and Ben knew it needed some work, but he wanted to see exactly what had to be done.

He spent some time touring the property and came across a doorstop. He found himself fascinated by it, and instead of asking the couple about the rest of the property, he asked them about the doorstop. He wasn’t expecting the answer he was given.

The Man’s Answer

Ben was smiling as he made his way to the farmhouse’s exit, and that’s when he noticed it. The property’s previous owner was still there, so Ben asked him what it was.

The man gave a simple reply at first and said it was a doorstop. Then he explained further: The piece of rock had been used during the last five decades to keep the barn doors from closing.

The old man was told that the rock was unique, but he thought it was because his father was trying to get him to feed the pigs.

A Piece Of Advise

That wasn’t what Ben had been expecting to hear, but as he said goodbye to the man, he told Ben that the rock was valuable and that he should continue using it. Ben was confused as he watched the old man get in his truck and wink at him, but he decided to do as he was advised.

The couple and the real estate agent had left, and Ben was alone with the keys to the property. He was so excited he couldn’t help but walk around the grounds again. He had access to every door and gate in the house.
