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!

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

Outstanding find!

I've only found one intact and that was back in 1994-95. Hard item to find.
