Discovery NotesSoil was collected next to swing set in front yard. Rural area surrounded by cow farms. The soil was on top of a concrete encased 4x4 post where it was continually agitated by digging for worms. The soil was light brown and dry (compared to the red clay that is normally found).
Naming NotesThe Centaur is the symbol of the Sagittarius, the Zodiac sign my youngest child. Just like my son, this plaque was very strong and determined. With each purification, this plaque continued to be visible.
