Some of you might enjoy these, my son and I dug the 4 items on the right this past Saturday. The adze and the point were dug previously. There are 2 pipes 1 is carved from petrified wood and prolly dates 6-8000 years, 1 has an eagle head carved into it, there is also a partial carved face from a medicine bowl, detail is phenomenal. The amulet is broken but a neat piece, drilled with 4 holes 1 broken hole and a partially drilled hole. All local stuff Fraser River Indian - Some Museum quality, Chris

Thanks all, Dixie, the face is a part of a medicine cup, or drinking vessel used for ceremonies, it is only 1/3 of the piece or so, inside is smooth and concaved - very thin walled. This will end up in a museum regardless of only being a partial, it is a great example of fine art from the ancients.

You have some real nice history there, seriously nice finds! ?They should probably be placed in a museum but that's your choice. ?HH, Mike
