This was found on my land in Alaska. Dating from 300 to 500 years old. Walking on the only hill the ground was flat at the top with low blueberry bushes. Started seeing looked like old path. I learned to read the land over time. Checking it out there was a game trail cutting through. The adze was sticking straight up with the sharp end down into a clay like mud of the side of the game trail. I have been so busy that I have not gone back to find anything else. The old man said I better look before erosion takes part of the hill. I have no idea the value but the quality is the milky lines you see mixed with the green. We are not sure what we plan to do with it except show people. The best of my finds yet. They also found obsidian artifacts about 20 miles to the west of my property. Possibly connected.

Well that certainly is an unusual find. Maybe it was a campsite. There could be a lot more there.
