Anytime I hear a new story, and if it holds my interest, I do some quick reserach.
On your iron beads found in Illinios, are you aware that they were iron meteorites? The Hopewell Indian tribe, and only them, apparently liked to collect fallan meteorites. There are 3 occasions where they attempted to COLD reshape the objects. For example they hammered some of them into the shape of the beads, which you described.

Before I look into any of your other claims, maybe you could beat me to the punch and find out what really happend.
(You realize that iron working and finding iron meteorites are different right?)
