🥇 BANNER Discoil kind of day.

[GaRebel1861]

I went back out to the historic Native American site today that I've been metal detecting after finding the tomahawk or trade axe yesterday. (I posted the axe on "Today's Finds yesterday) Today, was shotgun shell and beer can day and I wasn't really finding too much of what I was looking for. Close to the end of the hunt, I was walking along in the field and spotted what I thought at first was a 4" PVC pipe cap laying about 75 feet away. Thinking that it was odd for a pipe cap to be out in the middle of no where, I walked closer and found this discoal laying out in the sun in plain view. I'm sure glad that I checked it! It's going to clean up well and has itself a new home in the display cabinet.

Yep. Already cutting grass and swatting bugs.

Thanks! It’s a first for me. I’ve seen several found but, up until now I didn’t have one in my collection.

That's one of the nicest ones I've ever seen. Good save.

 

[GaRebel1861]

It cleaned up pretty good!

 

[quito]

Big sucker too!

 

[GaRebel1861]

Yes it is. It’s one of the largest that some of the local collectors have seen. One said it looked like an uncooked cat head biscuit. Lol.

Very nice Discoidal. Is it made from Limestone?

I think it’s quartz. Too heavy and sturdy to be limestone in my opinion.

 

[GaRebel1861]

You can’t tell it in the picture but the top and sides are polished very smooth. I don’t believe limestone can be done that way.

Well, Thank you sir! Very kind of you. It’s one of those finds that the rest of the day you have to go back and look at it every hour or so.

Wow! It's an amazing find!

Cool, thanks.

That chunky stone is great. Imagine all the spears that were thrown at that as it rolled across the ground.White is a good moving target. Great piece of prehistoric history I have found that exact same style of trade axe up here.
I think you have a banner site so am sending a vote your way. Interesting piece for people to learn about.
