Looks like the family day turned out very well. Does your son hunt his own spots usually?

We hunt the same camps and he surface hunts around the homestead when he has time . We are always looking because of where we live here in the foothills of California . I have a camp on our property and there was a large camp on the old homestead .

Sure I was told the facets were all cut /ground by hand so every bead is different .

I have found only one "Russian" blue.... As far as I know they are the tubular ones with facets I've never seen a round one... Until now that is after some looking

After looking at your strand of beads, I noticed you have a clear faceted bead. That is a very old bead, I find them here that was brought in by the De Soto exploration and traded to the Natchez Indians.
