I went back out to the historic Native American site today that I've been metal detecting after finding the tomahawk or trade axe yesterday. Today, was shotgun shell and beer can day and I wasn't really finding too much of what I was looking for. Close to the end of the hunt, I was walking along in the field and spotted what I thought at first was a 4" PVC pipe cap laying about 75 feet away. Thinking that it was odd for a pipe cap to be out in the middle of no where, I walked closer and found this discoal laying out in the sun in plain view. I'm sure glad that I checked it! It's going to clean up well and has itself a new home in the display cabinet.

Look up Chunky Stone - Native American game.

Very cool! That is a great find from what i think. Congrats!

I'm far fom being a native american specialist, but isn't that a Banner worth find?

I don’t know about a banner find but, it did get a good position in my artifact display cabinet. It’s the only one that I’ve ever found. I knew they existed but never been lucky enough to find one until today.
 

Great looking piece, bet you forgot about the detecting being bad. Congratulations on the save

Remind me to rub your head the next time I see you. I need some luck! To find that in what looks like a freshly plowed field that hasn't been rained on is almost unbelievable. But, I believe you are the only one lucky enough to find it. You know I told you I don't like you when you posted the trade ax, well you don't want to know what I think of you now! :censored: :laughing7:. Congratulations on a rare find. I can't wait to see what you post next!
I put in a banner vote for it. It should be up there!

“Uh, Thank ya, Thank ya very much” (My Best Elvis voice impersonation ) lol.
 

That is a very unique artifact, congrats!:icon_thumleft: when I googled it tho, the only description they gave for that word was some sort of simulator?!?!
 

Congrats on an excellent artifact. I have never seen one of those before, and learned something from your post today.
