It bears no inscription so far as can be seen or any other marks to indicate how it came there. It is about five by eight inches in size and a quarter of an inch thick. Mr. Lafever found it on a knoll which for several years he has been plowing down, having lowered it perhaps two feet from its original height. The plate weighs four pounds.
