Heartbreaker for me

[jmaschal]

Had the itch last night and just wanted to get out. The entire family actually wanted to get out as well. I have yet to find a gorget and this happened... made from soapstone.

Half way there I guess. Has the broken edge been smoothed down like maybe they salvaged it? Glad you got a little relief at any rate.

Nope just broke... appeared to be an old break. And yes much needed relief.

I found a half of a gorget several years ago. It appears to be made of slate. I'll post a picture tonight if I remember.

That is Nice! It's a shame when you wish it was all there.

half is better than none, even though the whole thing would be better. It's still a nice rare discovery, congratulations.

This is gorget half I found several years ago. I didn't know what it was and actually left it where I found and went back later to get it.

That's been my luck on gorgets, too.

Awesome find! That looks to be really thin, and being soapstone seems to be really unusual too. Congrats on an exciting find !

Found close to your old stumping grounds off the Bush River. Definitely unique. I know of one other gorget found In the area.
