Last weeks find out at the garden

[CR Point]

I thought that I had found a very big bead and also took a couple of pictures before I really knew what I had just found.

Now that is one spectacular garden. Better take it easy with your hoe.

i see your flippin' stick russy!

WOW! I know nothing about artifacts, and this may seem like a Brit tourist asking "who are the Dallas Cowboys?" . but dare I say it... "what is it?"
I am assuming it must be special, having made Banner in 2 posts, but as with sluicing, CRH, old bottles and the like, I like to learn what is a super find - please help enlighten me!


Thanks!

I'm with BVI - what the heck is it?

No matter how much you know, there's a universe to teach us more!

Thanks!

and how DOES the Banner system work?

If this is already on the banner I have no idea how it works. Maybe a bunch of people voted for it without posting to the thread?

Ans when you click on the (pictureless) banner it drops you into Larson's post rather than at the top of the thread. Weird.

I'd like to know what it is too.

i will post some info about the game piece
it is for playing a game where seven different pieces like the one russ foud are put in a basket and thrown in the air and scored by the way they land
i think the game is called ba-dush-ka

as far as the banner goes it got messed up by yours truly...........sorry bout that

 

[BVI Hunter]

it got messed up by yours truly....

in what way?

Some info on the piece would be great!

 

[larson1951]

in what way?

Some info on the piece would be great!

here is an image of some game pieces used in another mandan/hidatsa dice type game called 'shawe'

any chance you could work a bit of your banner magic on them?

 

[BVI Hunter]

(obviously only joking and don't want to distract from a great and rare find in the OP!)

 

[old digger]

Incredible find Russy! Banner vote here.

that is the question,to bad there is no true answer at this site,nice insta banner,i find beads like these all around the middens,and here I was thinking they all went on a necklace

well we find beads quite frequently......but i want to point out the the piece with the hole in the back is the back side of that gaming piece and there would be no way to string it on a necklace as the hole goes only half way through the piece.....so it is for sure not a bead

it was not 'insta banner' but i do feel kinda dumb LOL......and i wanna say the term 'insta banner' is very original and i like your creativeness....i really do my friend

you can pound on me until the cows come home and i will never get upset with you......i got a long fuse if we stay respectful

 

[larson1951]

and how DOES the Banner system work?

the banner system is not controlled by me......all i did is place a vote and click on a wrong icon

the way a piece gets on the banner is that it gets a certain number of votes and is a recent legitimate find by the poster

Nice game piece!

 

[jamey]
