Those are some beautiful pieces Chris. I'd be having a heart-attack finding anyone of them! How long have you been hunting artifacts? You must have been hunting quite a few years to find stuff of that quality.

Hiya Futz, all these are by-products from mining, found while out panning gold. I don't actually hunt for artifacts anymore. The four items on the right side of that picture were all found the same afternoon along with various points and a few knives, was a great day. I have only had a collection for a few years, now I keep my eyes open for stuff all the time while mining. Thanks, Chris
