This surface find was out of my league as a detectorist and beachcomber. When i saw this sitting in the surf on the sand and approached it I was shocked to realize I knew what it was right away. This comes from someone who has never been able to find a complete point of any sort in my 65 yrs of searching ( i was born to search!). It is so symmetrical and the hole is true and centered (it was packed with sand when I found it). I washed it in plain water and now I am going to see about getting it authenticated and appraised.

Even though this is a amazing find it probably wont make Banner. The rules state that it has to be a 1st find of its kind and even though most collectors will never find one and its rare somebody else probably has already made banner with one in the past. Very nice find and I have never found one and Im not sure if I ever will, rock

Sorry rock, it has nothing to do with above. If this was the case there would be no banner for GW buttons, gold rings, coins etc.

new rule addition

Banners will not be considered if member does not give a variety of
posses of the Find in question
, preferably but not limited to When it is originally Found.

We like Insitu and / or at least plenty of Identifiabley cleaned poses
so each Banner pic can look unique from what else is up there.
if your like me & don't do insitu that is fine.
we also prefer pics of all the days finds.

no body goes out , finds a banner coin on the first dig and goes home.

if you do, I want your luck :unhappysmiley:

Seriously, We want entertaining Posts to make banner !

Take us with you on your Hunt.... at least in Spirit :thumbsup:
This is Banner we are talking about.

------------ADDITIONAL----------------------
Since seeing several Requests We are going back to the Old Way &

Since Members seem to mainly Vote for posts in Today's Finds .
Posts in Other Forums like Beach & Shallow Water, shipwrecks,
North American Indian Artifacts, gold prospecting , bottles etc. do Not require the Same numbers of votes. and may be bannered just by Moderator prerogative. to remind you they are there.

And as Marc would say; "Shake things up a Little" :laughing7:



please Note.

Because of recent Unfortunate happenings.

If you receive a Banner & remove your pictures after.
your banner & right to future Banners will be Removed !

If You post something & Do Not wish to be considered for Banner
Say so in your opening Post, Or PM Me & tell me to Ignore banner votes on your Find.

It saves Both of us Time, & Prevents Confusion & hard feelings.

right place right time...it could have been GONE forever with the next tide. I don't know how many times i have walked the beach and picked up something from a spot that i KNOW wasn't there the day before.

Awesome find and it really looks nice up there. I signed in to see if it made it banner and was happy for you to see so.

There's a "nominate banner" tab top right of every comment.

If your using your phone it doesn’t pop up unless you select “webview” I jump on my laptop whenever I want to nominate or check out the banners it’s a bit more user friendly

On a phone you use the report icon, it goes to the same forum admins and mods read for post reports and banner nominations.
