Don't forget, not all boomerangs are intended to come back - they are still boomerangs, 'cos they are significantly better than sticks. I think the returning boomerang came a lot later than the non-returning one.
Pretty sure the earliest one was found in Europe, but whilst I remember being surprised, I clearly wasn't surprised enough to be able to recall where it was found.
