been awhile, recent Fraser river finds Dec/2014

[Chris in BC]

I know we all have good days and not as good days in the field, this day was particularly good for me, some of my favorites I got all the same day - first off, I found my first trade bead, a blue cobalt glass bead, 3 little thumb scrapers below it in pic, the largest knife and possibly oldest crude blade I have seen, no ruler can be found but it measures over 5". Between the large knife and bead there is a stealite or basalt pipe fragment, it was found on the surface, I did not break it. various points and/or knives, and decorative white jade pendants, beat up.


Happy new year all and best of luck in 2014

forgot to mention my favorite piece in a long time, the light colored jade seal, it is carved with fins and a tail etc, I think its a seal
