All Treasure Hunting
When I first started in this hobby I was told by an Ole Timer that when it came it relic hunting, that it was based on 10% knowledge and 90% imagination, because it took that imagination to see what they had done with the material they had....I have a pretty vivid imagination, but we all do, it's just if we put it to work...I have 4 pieces here that I believe are effigies.....The first one is of a bear, which I have seen other pieces on the internet that was very similar to this and made of the same material, the second one I think is a pipe in form of a fish, but not sure if its broken on the 'back side or not...The third is of a face made from a red stone, it appears to be unfinished on the left hand side in pics...The last one looks to be a Chef with headdress looking up to the skies...The fourth of a bird....Even if these turn out to be just figments of my imagination the what an imagination and still having the ability to let it run free...I hope you enjoy

I found this unique effigy this last fall. I kind of looks like a buffalo.

This one belongs on the banner. Seriously!!
 

I have read that every native American tool was based on an item found in nature. Points may be modeled after a pine tree. Things like that. I guess in a way everything is an effigy.
