The stone is a free standing one that does not appear to be broken off a
base. We
have looked/probed all around the area very well and cannot find
evidence of the exact place it came from. Thanks.

Is the stone a tall one that free-stands in the ground, or a shorter one
that stands in a base? Has the bottom been broken off? The one we
repaired at the Evansville workshop was leaning against a tree, with a
little searching we found a base with a broken peice that matched
it. Exhaust all possible ways of locating it's original position before
you give up and place it with family members.
