One of the strangest mysteries in archaeology was discovered in the 1930s in the Diquis Delta of Costa Rica. The stone spheres of Costa Rica are a collection of some three hundred polished stone orbs.In the 1930s the United Fruit Company was excavating the fertile, yet remote, farmlands of Costa Rica, near the Diquis Valley on the Pacific Ocean coast. As workers dug and prepared the land for cultivation, they discovered many large stone spheres buried and impaled in the tropical soil.
The stone spheres were previously unknown to the local inhabitants and they could offer no explanation of who made them or how old they were. Plantation workers bulldozed them and largely ignored them until rumors started spreading that they may contain gold or precious jewels. Many balls were drilled or cracked open with dynamite, only to reveal that they were composed of solid rock.

This subject is already explained. It is fakes! His discoverer forged them with the objective to obtain the fame in the archaeological community. He also forged a cranio from crystal to make the history still more mysterious.
I'm not sure about the first comment, but there are beaches of the great lakes in the US and Canada that turn up almost perfect round stones. It's the currents of the waters and lots of time that create them. They are small though, you can hold them in your hand. I beleive there are huge round boulders near Niagara Falls too. Lots of years tumbling in the torrential waters made them that way.
Syarikat menggali tanah-tanah pertanian yang subur, namun terpencil di Costa Rica, berhampiran Lembah Diquis di pantai Lautan Pasifik. Ketika para pekerja menggali dan mempersiapkan tanah untuk ditanam, mereka mendapati banyak batu batu besar yang terkubur dan situs prediksi bola ditimbun di tanah tropika.
