Found by 2 of the Shelby family boys who owned the property before the Byler family purchased the land. The boys were digging a fort in the middle of the mound when they uneathed it. William Platt heard about the mound in the late 1940's - early 1950's and purchased the gorget from them. From the collection of Jim Miller.
