A friend of mine showed me a place to look for arrow heads. So today I went back out there and found lots of broken chips. While I was on the ground scratching the dirt my other knive fell out of my pocket. That got me to thinking what if some one else might of dropped something. So I went back to the truck and got my detector out. I had no luck in that area. So I was swinging back to the truck. I pick up a nice signal just about the time I was thinking of turning my machine off. I can't tell the rest of the story because I am to excited. Here is the pic's of what I found. Is it a real Indian artifact or commercial?

Nice find!!! It is modern...I'd say about 1970's, it would be called Novelty, and the Navajos outlawed Novelty items in the 1980's. After that they had to be made the same way they were way back when. That doesn't mean its not worth much, the Turquoise is real, and a good example. Some of that type of jewelry was made in the Philippines and Malaysia. Thats why the Navajos outlawed it to protect their own stuff from cheap copies. Still a great find though. I say Navajo because thats what I'm most familiar with, I think the symbols are from Arizona area...Apache and Jicarilla, probably sold at a trading post at one time.
Dano.
 

Stunning find!!! Wear it with pride. ;D

Terrific find Burdie, glad you didn't shut down before you walked right over it.
