I made an awesome find sifting/metal detecting an old spot on Monday... one I would've never expected. I usually don't find Indian Artifacts, but I had a good feeling this one was something cool. I got some help on Facebook and Instagram and found out it most likely came from a pipe because all of the bears claws seem to be ripped off, as if they were attached to something. If anyone has an idea on the age, please let me know. Thanks for looking!

I don't see how I missed this post initially....before it made banner. Any Indian effigy is extremely hard to find, especially in perfect condition. Seen a lot of effigy pipes, but never a bear. Too cool! Glad it made banner! Now, see if you can find stuff like banner stones, pop-eyed bird stones, or a medicine man's eagle. They're out there to be found if you get lucky.

That is a great find. I like your signature too. If you look at my post called May Finds i mention how your determination and the finding of the CSA belt plate inspired me to rehunt my hunted out place. My result was an 1836 half dime so thanks for the inspiration.
