OBJECT IS IN QUADRANT #3 NEAR LEFT BORDER

LOOKS LIKE AN UPSIDE DOWN SHOVEL LAYING ON TOP OF A VERY ORNATE ROCK. THE ROCK IS COVERED IN SCROLLWORK WITH NUMBERS, DOTS & A LARGE QUESTION MARK. THE PIECE OF METAL SEEMS TO EXTEND UPWARD INTO A SCOOPED OUT ROCK AND ENDS IN A TRIANGULAR FLAT PLATE WITH A RING IN THE TOP. WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE WAS THE SANDBLASTED EDGE OF THE CURVED METAL. IT WOULD MAKE SENSE THAT THE HEAVIER STEEL PLATES WOULD EVENTUALLY BE POLIHED WITH THE WIND & SAND. I BET THAT MARTIAN IS STILL LOOKING FOR THIS TOOL!!!

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
