A rare personal find in Kentucky	Jack A. DeBorde
Central States Archaeological Societies 2006 January Journal	Lexington, Kentucky

On Sunday, September 29th, 2002; Benny Webb of Winchester, Kentucky and I began hunting the fields after the previous day's hard rain. He asked me when the last time I had that "special feeling" that comes from finding a super artifact. I said I hadn't had such a feeling since I had found a St. Louis Clovis in
Bourbon county in 1990.

We always rinse our shoes in bleach to avoid tracking black shank disease from one field to another and we had to get it at another farm miles way from where we intended to hunt. So as long as we were there, we walked a site on which the tobacco had been cut weeks earlier. After a short while my friend wanted to leave as the field was not producing for him, but I continued on as I was finding flint chips and I thought I spotted a portion of a broken celt. Just a little piece of green polished stone was visible. After removing it I realized what it was. I had seen birdstones in books but all were from Northern states. When Benny saw my find he noticed the circular color on one eye and stated it looked more like a dog than a bird. He named it "Spot" and the name fits. I would never have found this fine artifaact if we didn’t go for bleach. Whenever I look at "Spot" I think of Benny's words: "When was the last time you had that special feeling?"
