Find of the year !!

[arrow86]

I can’t believe what I found today .... item very high on my bucket list . I called out of work I just needed a day off I wasn’t planning on hunting especially since the tide was extra high but I decided I would take the boat down the river just to get out. It’s crazy cause several things happened that if they hadn’t I probably don’t find this ... calling out of work , tide being high , and maybe what made me pay really close attention to the dark muck under the water is a water moccasin dropped out of a tree about 2 min before and I was in sandals so I was really going slow trying to find it and spotted this ...

At this point I’m saying “holy smoke” !! That’s a banner stone !! And than I’m praying please be intact please be!

I couldn’t believe it ... the first Bannerstone iv ever found that’s intact and I couldn’t be happier if I don’t find anything else this year I’ll be happy

Really not sure of the material it’s made from I have never seen that type of stone before around here I found another large hammer looking stone rite next to the banner that is same material the last group pic has a few points I found as well .... a great day with unexpected artifact that I’ll never forget finding

Thank you everybody for the votes and kind words ..... on the long boat ride back (8 miles ) I was so worried something may happen that I tied a a string thru the middle and attached the other end to a life vest [emoji23].... only now do I realize how crazy that would seem to anybody else lol but I was thinking if me and the boat go down atleast the banner will survive

Congrats! Banner vote sent!

Are you still picking it up every 5 minutes to look at it, or haven’t you put it down yet?

You know it been holding still in shock ... it was crazy after I found it I tried to look around the area for anything else but my brain was like mush I couldn’t even function I really never expected to find an intact banner ever
