found a good squash knife yesterday

[larson1951]

we got over 5 inches of rain in the last few weeks and that sure washed some cool things out by the edge of the hill

i think this probably the nicest squash knife i have ever found......it's made from a buffalo scapula



also an unboiled brace(complete) made from split elk antler these were boiled in animal tallow which would make them curl into a bracelet
this is the only complete piece we have ever found since 1988...............when we get a bunch of rain chunks of the bank fall away and expose some way way cool things
if this piece would have been in the flat field it woulda been all busted into little one inch pieces
