HI
There are more than one Sable Is., so I am told. I will check on the co ordinates. If this is the same- it would be interesting as a friend sent a photo of a large stone with a hole chiseled into the lower side.

Sable (French = "sand") Island is well placed to have been encountered if/when ancient mariners sailed from the Mediterranean to the St. Lawrence seaway. I wonder whether there could be copper oxhides under that sand, or offshore...
I've just written a blog post about Sable Island . It's too long to reproduce here; those interested can peruse it at the link. I'd appreciate any comments (here, or at the blog) if anyone knows whether any marine archaeology studies have been conducted around this island.
