That is just totally awesome!
I haven't seen that many QUALITY artifacts in any museum.
What a beautiful collection!

DigEmAll said:Thanks guys!
And you are welcome. I need to get some better pics as long as I have the table covered... and before someone throws a fit about eating at the kitchen table!
LOL!
At least you should have all the necessary eating utensils. Now I can see where you got your user name. You really do "dig em all".
Fantastic!!!

Thanks again guys...
I was out today doing a bit of EXTREME hiking. I found a cave the other day with the binos... Jeeeeezzzzz what a hike! Anyway, it was worth it. Lots of cool indian doodles! Even some paleface doodles dating back to 1873... THAT IS PREHISTORIC for this area! This area wasn't even being ranched then! It was HARDCORE Apache country! I took some pics... I'll post them later.

What an absolutely stunning collection Digem! I have gone back over those pictures twice, and still could look another couple of times! Thanks for sharing these. Looking at the pictures is such a learning experience. Think my favorites are the turtle and the face!
Awesome! Nana

Dig,
This collection is unbelievable. I keep pinching myself...it's not a dream. This is a collection started by your grandfather, father and added on by you. How many years total? Also, found in many different areas of the country.
After seeing these, it makes me think about my collections (nowhere looking like yours) was started in 1965, by FIL and husband only when they found plowing the garden spot. Since, Jan '06 a new area was found on the property so I'm hauling them in.
Thanks, for sharing these with us!!

Well, Dad and Grandpa have both moved on to the happy arrowhead hunting grounds, but they would have loved to hear all you guys compliments!
Parts of this collection were found all the way back into the thirtys. However, the majority was found by my dad who was like me (or is it the other way around?) and was ALWAYS outside doing something. Hunting, fishing, digging relics, or hunting indian artifacts, he was always outside. My Grandpa was more of a city slicker who would tag along with my dad on many of his indian artifact hunting trips. Grandpa couldn't have cared less about metal detecting or any of that other stuff, but he liked to go walk the fields. I would say that the split is 60% dad, 20% Grandpa and 20% mine.
Thing is, dad would go on weekend long hunts during the summer. He would find someone who had found a _______ in their field and would ask permission and have them show him where they found it. Then he would spend the weekend hunting it over and then wait for the next rain. He would do this every summer and would always have seven or eight places to hunt. This way he wouldn't wear out his welcome. He might hit the same field about once every two months. It was a good tactic.
Thanks again guys!
