RE: asking permission doesn't always hurt - 2/8/2008 9:20:12 PM    rlo   Posts: 320 Joined: 12/9/2007 From: the boot heel Status: offline Lindenmeir folsom?  is it a mound?   did you get to do any excavating there? I know this whole area was inhabited for a long time, there are a lot of mounds in the area, but illegal to dig them. which I have to admit is probably a good thing. that's why I am excited about this site, there are no butial mounds on it.  I hope to be able to do some research as I look  so I can know what to look for as far as age.    I stayed at a hot springs one winter in N. CA.  & found obsidian points as well as a fish hook, arrow straightener, and assorted tools. It was nice because I was able to talk with some of the local tribes & hear their oral history, as well as learn what the tools were used for. Makes the artifacts & the people who used them come to life.  (in reply to RedGinger) Post #: 21

RE: asking permission doesn't always hurt - 2/10/2008 1:43:25 AM    ktbi Posts: 981 Joined: 6/7/2007 From: Vacaville, Ca. Status: offline I grew up next to an Indian Reservation (Schurz, Nevada). Paiute tribe.  Went to school with them K-12 and was friends with many. They had some unbelievable artifacts in some of the houses and a few in a local museum.  I'm sure they were worth a small mint, but of course they wouldn't part with their heritage - even though most were living at poverty or below. That is a big part of why I'm so interested in American Western History and Western Bottles - mostly Nevada...For a contrasting view,we could visit an old Army Post, Fort Churchill build in 1861.  I found an old cannon ball there once that's still in my garage...Ron _____________________________ Will Buy/Sell/Trade for for Kidney Embossed Bottles (in reply to mikmis) Post #: 28
