Never saw an unbroken gorget from my area, but did see a few unbroken pendants. saw a few unbroken banners from friends finds, but i only ever found one unbroken banner myself and it is very small - just over 2 inches.

Nice finds. I find the brokes also. I only have one whole one. Have had a friend pick one up when hunting together. I found one just like hers but,, mine was broke in half.

Here is another Perk. of rhyolite. Here west of the Susquehanna we find perks in jasper and rhyolite. This, as is the other perk. is just over 4" in length but is a surface find from a corn field.
