 found on a terrace. All other chips and unfinished specimens I have were found on 

 the surface in plowed fields — all in different places. I have one rare specimen which 

 is finished and was found about 12 feet below the surface nicely packed in with 

 about twenty others of same shape, but different sizes, near Salmon Brook, on a
