jpsi Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 6:50 pm Hello all, I came across a set of raised areas between (and perpendicular to) inner columns inside the Memorial. Any help to identify would be appreciated. Many thanks as always for community members' time and expertise. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8738 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 7:39 pm I think the OP is referring to the horizontal anomaly. To me, it just looks like damage, misplaced metal. You can see scrapes that line up with it on the columns. to the forum! -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
jpsi Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 7:44 pm Hi, thanks for your patience as I'm learning how to better specify my inquiries. In the photo attached to this post I've added arrows to the raised areas I meant to indicate. The anomalies are between columns 6-7, 7-8, and 8-9. What struck me as curious was the discontinuity of the horizontal features, and (relative) lack of damage on the columns. Thanks again (and please forgive me if I misunderstood your replies)!

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8738 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 7:57 pm I looked at that possibility, John but couldn't make it work. From the looks of it, it is as I stated above. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95254 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 8:07 pm OH! My bad - at least you know about the vertical lines now. What you are pointing out could be a die gouge, seeing how the anomaly is on or next to level with the fields.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
