Sale Highlight - Pictured! One of the largest and finest Hopewell shovel Pendant ever recovered. Measuring 7 3/16" tall by 2 3/4" wide this incredible relic was found in the 1970s by the late Jay Sparks 1 mile west of Radnor Ohio in Thompson Township Delaware Co.. There is no damage to this item excellent mineral deposits on surface and engravings on one side. Mr. Sparks was hunting a bulldozed fence row between two fields with his friend Roy Plymale when they found it. As Mr. Sparks has passed I met and interviewed his friend Mr. Plymale who was there when it was found for confirmation of provenance. A video was taken of our conversation in which Mr. Plymale verifies this is the same artifact and he provided details of how where and when it was found. A copy of the digital video file will be included for the winning bidder. To received a copy of this digital video file prior to auction day please call us with your email address at 419-207-8787.
