sorry but i have no idea why this made the banner, google search didn't turn up much, can someone please enlighten me ?

Why do you need google to decide if somthing I found monday deserves to be on the banner?

GatorBoy · Apr 22, 2018

Things make the banner for a myriad of reasons. Old coins due to age, rarity, condition. Rings due to value, age, beauty. Relics due to collectivity, value. Arrowheads due to craftsmanship, rarity, condition and overall awesomeness. If you didn't find much on Google must be pretty rare. Eh?

"...no idea why it made banner?" Did you even look at the pictures? Hey, I think it's great to see something from the T-net basement make banner, and well deserved!

Hey Gator...long time no see!...
Congrats on the great find, and earning a Banner nod.
Sorry to read of the circumstances related to your find, that’s gotta be tough.... bet your Dad would be so proud of you.

The banner is full of buttons and rings, etc that are only at best a couple of hundred years old. Gators point is thousands of years old and flawless. I would guess there are almost none found that perfect. It blows away anything on the banner right now. Not dissing the other finds but this point is unreal.

My condolences on the loss of your father. Congratulations on the banner find. It's a beautiful find and a remembrance one too.

GaRebel1861 · Apr 23, 2018

That is one of the best points that I've ever seen come from Florida and your state is well known for some good quality artifacts. A big congratulations on making the banner. That point deserves a frame all to itself in my opinion and it is a no brainer that it should make a trip across the top. Sorry I didn't see it posted sooner or you would have gotten another vote from me.

My condolences on the loss of your father.

there was no time...it shot up like lightening! That point looks like it was made yesterday! Do you suppose it was buried on purpose?
