A few more pictures. All of these, except the fat green jade/greenstone beads from Guerrero Mexico, are personal finds over the last 10 years or so. I dig/sift a lot of beads.

You Sir are King!!!!! Do you head South much anymore with the climate being such? I would love to go dig and sift those middens. Be such a fun change of pace.
Great collection of beads and shell and effigy's. I enjoyed the last pictures you posted of stuff being wind blown on the surface.
Thanks for the show and feel free to tell us about some of the effigy items and types of stone/shell. Always enjoy the knowledge imparted.

My grandfather said ants like shiny things.He would screen the ant piles to find em. I haven't a clue to what they are,who made them or where they came from. He was a Colorado,new mexico,Utah,Wyoming kinda outdoorsman.

That's an old trick, that still works wonders! I've found lots of beads in ant hills. I think they are small enough that ants can drag them up and push them out of their nest.
