I promise I'll post some of my US artifacts as soon as I get to those boxes...  Here is a bottle that I found a few years back erroding out of the shore of a lake.  Unfortunately wet pottery doesn't conserve as well as dry pottery and it lost a lot of paint, but you can still see some of the designs.  Underblack light the pigment jumps out with an almost southwest mimbres type design.

Also, a couple of stone tube pipes from a site in the same general area.  One is quartzite, the other is probably serpentine or some other type of greenstone.  They smoked a lot, I've dug a lot of pipes over the years.

     Very Nice sir.

    Most people are born as hunters in one way or another. Does it not make sense that we gather as well. Enjoy the hunt and gather wisely.
