What Are Your Most Prized Treasures?

[shotthebreeze]

Although I'm not OW certified, I do snorkel whenever and where ever I can. This past summer I took my mask, snorkel and fins to a local cemetary in CT where my great grandfather had found flint arrowheads along the banks of a pond. Well, 70 years later I was in the pond and luckily no one caught me. Although there were many years of leaf decay, the visibility was alright. I found 2 flint arrowheads and 1 obsidian arrowhead, which I am confused by. Flint, yes, but obsidian (cooled lava if I'm not mistaken) must have been quite some time ago. Either that or it was a possible trade with another Indian tribe. The picture I posted is a similar looking piece, as I am at college and don't have my arrowheads with me.

I have found many great artifacts, from indian relics, civil war and WW2. The ones that give me the most satisfaction by far are the ones I did not get to keep.

They were the guns I have recovered that have resulted in solved murders.

I found a guy's teeth (in 43 degree water) and handed them back to him. They were certainly a treasure to him!

Leg bone from a sabre tooth cat, I figure that one is around 10,000 years old
due to the site I was diving!

The corner of a license plate from Al Capone's car that I found on a drift dive in Rainbow River. (that's my story and i'm sticking to it!) There are also the fossils from a spring that include a jawbone from some small mammal, that based on location and depth, are in the 4-5000 yr old range.
