Heaven help, that's some good stuff. The mace leaves me slackjawed. The Deadpool effigy pipe is pretty cool, too!

Nothing short of beautiful art!! And what were the Europeans doing at this time?

Those are amazing to be sure, but you really should have posted your banner effigy bead at the bottom... one of the best finds that I’ve seen here, and definitely museum quality.

Kindest regards,

Actually, after looking at monsterrack’s owl effigy (again), I did go to a washout where I knew the probability of finding anything worthwhile was extremely low. All I found were rocks, a plastic bottle, and a glass bottle. Took the glass bottle, cleaned it and put it in the recycling. The plastic one was too dirty to be salvaged, so it went into the trash.

Kindest regards,
