Have found many broken ones but was not expecting this. We've had a lot rain and went out to a site that I've found archaic thru hopewell items on one half and this was washed out in gravel. Wasn't where I would have expected either. Was in an area where an old house site sat. I usually metal detect that area and had walked over to it to see if any marbles or bottle tops had washed out. Glad I did, next rain may have washed it into ditch.

Washed off. It has turned a nasty brown now that out of earth and drying out. Is there anything I can put on it or soak in to keep the nice golden look it had?

RBowtie97, these were hand drilled, carved, ground out of hardstones by ancient Native Americans!
