The most valuable artifacts I've ever seen in person. Hook Bannerstones

A man named Rick Brumfield found these back in the 70's. Both were found on the very same day. I was fortunate enough to get to take some photos of them. He told me that as far as he is aware of, I am the only person who has a photo of a light being held up to it to show its translucency. My friend William actually got to hold them both (as in the picture). You can see them sitting side-by-side in the display case on the top shelf.

I have heard from good sources that he has gotten offers of over $250,000 on the one with the light shining through and he turned them down. There is easily $500,000 in the pair. I am on a quest to find one of my own! They occur in a very small area of the Ohio River Valley. I'm sitting smack in the very center of their range. My hopes are not high though lol. They are extremely rare.

Me and sunset glory!! At the time most pricey at auction unrolled smithsonian bird came along
 

Wow, quite spectacular. Thanks for posting them.
 

I bet you were scared to touch them. I was at a show last yr and got to hold a Discoidal that was appraised at $5k and was terrified I might drop it. It was truly an amazing artifact. Thanks for the pic of them I always enjoy seeing quality.
 

i sure hope you find one,thanks for sharing he has alot of killers in there
 

Sometimes when you try hard enough one will come your way. But 2. Wheeew I don't sell anything but at that price "Show me the money"! Thanks for sharing.
 

Haha that's why I don't have a picture of myself holding them. If something happened I would be frowned upon from the entire artifact collecting community! I have gotten to hold some nice rose quartz banners though ;)

I did hold it but not over the floor and not very high off the table either.
