Re: Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania Treasure.
Afterthought - yes I wish I could locate that silver Indian bracelet found by my best friend so many years ago. I am sorry to say that he passed away some years ago as a result of cancer, and that I am not on good terms with his widow. (She refused to allow me to take his two sons hunting for the first time, as I felt that was one thing I could do for my friend since he could not) and quickly moved away after he passed on. I do know that he would have never sold the bracelet, and would have wanted it to go to his sons - but I fear that his widow may well have simply sold it to a pawn shop. She was not and is not a very nice person, in my opinion.
That bracelet had beautiful engraved designs on it, showing the Sun, Moon, stars, representations of mountains and of waters; an expert might be able to read it as a set of ideas which tell a story, but our local experts at the time could only say that it was very much pre-Columbian and of very good silver, over 90 percent pure. I wish I had taken at least a few photographs of it.
