So a couple days ago my Grandfather decided to pass on his finds from flint city on to me. They were all found on the same site as the rest of my finds. He said " you put a lot of time into preserving these artifacts. I feel it's only right that they all stay together as they have for thousands of years.

I have no words.

Now that's the way it should be!

Gramps sounds like a wise man. That is a fine multi- or two generation assemblage now!

Fantastic!! Great artifacts staying with a family that cares. Very generous of your grandfather to pass them to. You can do the same someday. A family of caretakers.

Says something about him and you. Trust is a precious thing- and you earned his. Reminds me of a CS&N song.... 'Teach your children well...'
