Found in a Football Field...What Are They?

[traderoftreasures]

No symbols and they are hex shape, not octagonal.

8 sided is octagon

Exactly. These I have are 8 sided.

Why do we have to look at this old thread about Gong gi stones again ??

 

[SODABOTTLEBOB]

I'm just tagging this thread to get future updates. I've heard about it in the past, but this is my first time ever actually seeing it. It will probably get solved by the time I'm finished scrolling through all 16 pages. (If I even do) Lots to consider here ... especially for us latecomers.

There's a fella' on another forum I frequent who found some of these at a local baseball field and they were ID. I Can't remember what they were ID as but I'll look later tonight as I don't feel like searching through a thousand posts at the moment.

Woooo, CLIFF-HANGER !!

Why do we have to look at this old thread about Gong gi stones again ??

We are waiting for the guy that invented these particular ones to fess up!
Or for Bramblefield to post proof, whichever comes first

Why not simply accept that those ARE Gong gi stones ??

I thought you and I had an greement to stay out and let new ideas come in. I'm doing my part.

 

[kyphote]

Maybe post this to some kind of sports forum? They'll think you're a little weird but maybe it'll pay off.

 

[piggman1]

Please do, then maybe we can get new ideas. I DO thank everyone that has put an effort in this. There has been a lot of hard work and research into this. The only problem is, no one can find an exact set, and the polls show people are unconvenced. Me and you agreed to stay out and let others post. Sure I will answer all legitimate questions, but you can't stay out. So please do remove your post and post elsewhere. Then we might get more people with new ideas.

To whom it may concern :

I just finished reading all portions of this thread that I felt were pertinent to the identification of the item(s) in question. And it is my humble opinion the item(s) have already been positively identified! But rather than add to the controversy surrounding things as they stand, and state exactly "what" I believe it is, I will refrain from doing this and advise any and all who truly feel it necessary to do so, to go back through the evidence as I have and take another look at things. With a careful examination I think you will be surprised what you discover.

I realize this may be considered by some to be a "cop-out" on my part, which I sort of agree with and apologize for. But it's just that I am not currently inclined to get caught up in having to provide "proof" of my claim. In my opinion, all the proof that is needed has already been presented. Take a "really close look" at things and I honestly feel you will see what I mean.

Good luck and best regards to all concerned.

Funny Because these look Plastic
& Glittery to Me

Not like the ones Found.

Provenance on the Metal Finds Yet ?

 

[piggman1]

We are not looking for a maker, as in the arrowhead. Yes an arrowhead is an arrowhead. That's because there are others to compare to right down to the type and time period. We would just like to see proof of one any others like it before saying it is solved.

 

[piggman1]

Could be, but I bet there have to be others out there if they are. At least someone would have seen them. Shape alone does not make the item.

1. Open to or having several possible meanings or interpretations; equivocal: an

or more structural descriptions, as the sequence Flying planes can be dangerous.

Please do not think I am "toying" with this issue, as that is neither my intent nor my nature. I am taking it just as serious as the majority of you are. And my only reason for including the above word with it's accompanying definition is because it best describes the full nature of this post. In other words; I recently came across a text reference to the item which described it to a "T" ... it even described in detail how it was used and where it originated. But what it didn't have was a photo. And if my memory serves me correctly, a photo is required to fully support a bonafide claim. You may ask why I don't just provide a link to the text I am referring to and let the majority decide if it is worthy of consideration? My answer to this is that I cannot provide the link. And for personal reasons I can say little more about it other than it truly does exist. The text would appear to some as being somewhat ambiguous, and something that I myself could have constructed with very little effort. But this doesn't mean I can't give you a few clues to set you on the right path to discover the answer for yourself. The so called clues I am referring to are several simple words, all of which have a similar meaning. And those words are ...

ORIGINAL - INAUGURAL - SOURCE - INITIAL

I truly hope someone out there is able to connect the dots here and finally bring this topic to absolution.

Sincerely and Respectfully,

SBB

i think piggman 1 has a right to a correct thorough satisfying id. What they are is known, any others identical to them is not proved.

Can you just post the text and not the link? These clues are compelling, but I'd love to avoid another snipe hunt.

 

[SODABOTTLEBOB]

I wish I could be more specific and less ambiguous, but for reasons I cannot explain, I have good reason for doing so. Besides, would it truly satisfy the cause here to post a testimony that claims ...

{Quote} ... "Yah, I used to have an exact set of those. I got them in 2003 while I was living in ________ , _________. They were brand new and still in the original _________. I paid $_______ for them. I never even opened the _________ they came in. At the time I didn't think much about it, and certainly could not have anticipated any mystery surrounding them. I just wish now I had kept them, or at least taken a photo. But who takes a photo of a set of __________?"

Crazy, huh? But without a photo what good would it do to pursue this line of discourse further? However, I can share another clue that may be of some help here. And this comes from the individual quoted above ...

"LIMITED EDITION"

Sorry. I wish I had more. But until a photo surfaces that's as good as it gets from me.

Respectfully,

SBB

 

[traderoftreasures]

well i hardly............

 

[SODABOTTLEBOB]

Additionally ...

With all due respect, even if I did fill in the blanks someone would certainly come along and say something like ... "That doesn't prove a thing! All we have here is the testimony from who knows who? Who lives who knows where? Show me a photo to accompany this preposterous claim and I will rest my case and call this thing solved!"

Heck, if it wasn't for myself being the one who posted all of this I would challenge it myself! You almost have to! So until someone produces an actual photo of the darn things I guess this could go on forever. Is that what we want? I don't! In fact, I'm putting this thing on the back burner for the time being with the hope someone else can provide the necessary proof with a photo. Which I am certain now will not come from me. Plus, I'm beginning to think a photo will likely never surface. And what do we do then if that happens?

I apologize if it appears I'm playing games here. But please rest assured that I am not.

P.S. ~

Call me a mediator, an instigator, or whatever. But my recommendation is to let this thing rest. Debate will never solve it! If someone should eventually come up with substantial proof that will satisfy the majority they can always start a new thread and call it ...

"Hey, Look What I Found!"

And consequently go down in the annals of Treasurenet.com history as the best ID'er of all time ...

Just a suggestion and nothing more.
