Hmm I forgot about these.. I guess I made my Grinding stone on the Stone cutter bench - But Some miss that as its rarely covered it seems.

Never got lucky with Fishing poles either but I have heard some have found them as loot.

I'd love to be able to find a bronze sword in the Meadows in a barrow sometimes or maybe get one of those damn shields we see int he Forest Burial Mounds all - the - damn- time! Admit it who hasn't wanted one of those!
