Reminds me of fishing net weights

Charlie, those net sinkers are great. A perfect example. So that little stream there was at one time a year round little river probably - loaded with fish.

I wonder how long ago that might have been. The sinkers have to be at least that old.

That one looks like they were netting ducks. More plausible than whale riding unless you're Capt. Ahab.

I think that's what they may be. A couple of archeologists have suggested the idea. They laughed when I told them they were pendants...hey, live and learn.

Could be from a bolo Cogs, if not a net wt.

Maybe the Illinoisan or Wisconsin meltdown?

It definitely seems to have been a river during wetter times.

Which one?

Which one?

It was posted a little earlier. I say that because it looks like a duck.

Mine is a fishing net weight, picked up on the El Capitan Beach near Ventura, California. Weighs just over 4 pounds. Think of the amount of time it took to drill that hole in the center!

Another job for the village idiot, right?

Funny you say that, because I thought it was a bird head pendant.

He was the chauffer and bodyguard for Louis Leakey and is older than dirt (he was talking about running cross country in high school in the 40s). We are planning to renovate one of the outbuildings into a lab for Fred this spring. Being a former sheriff he has also agreed to appoint me his deputy for crowd control when the Friends of the Pleistocene show up. Maybe I'll get to shoot somebody?

Found some nice handaxes (of course they don't exist) and other items while at my site in addition to taking some strat pics. I'll post those later since everyone here seems to be having so much fun right now discussing tridents!

Hell, post them...let's get to something less controversial...
