Russy brings me luck

[larson1951]

went out for a bit while watering this morning and called russy but know answer
i wanted him to come and walk awhile
about ten minutes later i'm gonna leave and he calls and says "wait around and let's walk a little, I'm only a couple miles away, ill be there in ten minutes"
so i decide to stay and keep walking, about a few minutes went by and i thought i saw a TRSS arrow point, so i'm grabbing my camera and looking a little closer, about 6" to the right is a piece of a pottery rim with a BUFFALO face,
by the time i did the nature dance and took the initial 3 pictures i put my camera away saw russy walking up
now if he wouldn't have called i would have left and never found this baby
in 25 yrs of surface hunting i have never seen one of these, i did find a couple of owl faces over the years but never one like this
the TRSS (gray chert) point i thought i saw is to the left of the buffalo beside the pink and gray piece of granite
i will post the rest of what we found on another thread as soon as i get time
yes i think it's true....sunshine follows russy wherever he goes

I know this is a very far fetched thought, but that piece looks more like an Ape or Monkey face to me than a Buffalo. Now here's the crazy thought, what if it represents a Bigfoot or Sasquatch and not a buffalo. lol

I'm sure it is a Buffalo as Steve says because that would be the best scenario for the piece, a Buffalo Haed off the side of a Pot. But you just never know, do ya

Larson that is a interesting piece. Look's like a bear to me though. either way buffalo or bear that is a great piece. Very interesting.

Except for Goofy, I didn't know dogs could drive. Lol just kidding!
Russy is the lucky one, I suspect.
Great find Steve.........once again.

Larson I can see it is a rim. I was just wondering is it fairly thin pottery it look's like it might be thin pottery from the photo's. that is a really interesting piece. Good find Congratulation's.
