I found this broken pick banner in the field by adjacent to my home Dec 3 1990, on a small rise in the bottoms along the creek. This was found in the same field as the undrilled bi-concave gorget seen in the post here - 2nd image.

When I found this, it was pointing straight up in the air.

You can see from the break across the hole the break has worn down considerably. I have search occasionally for the missing section over the years. The field yields few relics anymore.

Some nice mineralization has formed on the surface. Years of tumbling in the ground as its been turned for farming has worn the edges extremely smooth.

Add that to my bucket list. Although, I’ve not heard of any found in my lifetime in my region.
