I found this tube bannerstone in a field, the next field over was a field for planes to land. I was with my cousin, I was in the field for about ten minutes and I walked on the side of this little bank, I saw the bannerstone sticking straight up and down in the mud. The hole in it caught my eye. The banner measures 6 inches. It looks to have ancient damage on the end. It is an awesome find. I have never found one so complete.
The flint celt is a awesome piece. It measures right at 4 inches. It was found in Pike County, Ohio along the Scioto River. The bannerstone was found in Southern Ross County, Ohio.

Very nice finds. That banner is find of a lifetime imo. I know of two small airports that are bulit on sites, one paleo.
 
Beautiful. I have a damaged highly polished celt made of that green material found here in Tennessee. Nice finds.,
 
Wow! Very nice finds. Thanks for sharing. I've found one hardstone celt and one nice chert celt. They are both special finds.
 
from the length and width of the slate,id bet it is a tube pipe and not a banner
 
The slate tube is a killer piece but I find the most interesting is that the little adze if made from what looks like Kaolin Flint from Southern IL
