A BANNERSTONE DAY!!

[shartis]

Stopped by at lunch today and walked this little cleared spot in York County S.C.. Found a few pieces then spotted the edge of a rounded slick rock. I thought that looks like a bannerstone but have thought that many many times. I kicked it and my first complete banner stone popped up! Some type of hard slateish material from the area. Even the broke pieces are hard to come by around here. Good hunting- Sam

SWEEEET! Looks like a pick-type semi-lunar bannerstone. J. Coe, (1964) found this type of bannerstone associated with Stanly cultural materials. The material may be argillite. Here's one from central N.C.

Congrats Shartis!!! I dream of a bannerstone find all the time! Thats a good looking one too! I always flip the smooth rocks too but they are always just smooth rocks

Thanks for the comments everyone. I have found several pieces and a couple half pieces but this is my first whole in 38 years of hunting.
