Went over to restaurant to pick up/drop off some Xmas gifts. Their closed but they're thinking of us. And, outside in a rockpile I spotted this:
Fits the hand perfectly, worn on the bottom, an old Indian Hammer. Picked up by the owner on a nearby creek...
Damn. An excellent find and I'm more than a bit jealous.

Spotted at Share in Nelson. So many fakes around it's hard to tell if it's original, but nevertheless a cool thing. Coin goes in the Crossbow, shoots apple off of Jr's head, lands in Bank.

A couple of finds - the first (on the right) - a quartz crystal, colored by (?) and filled in like a pseudomorph. Found it in a pawn shop in Grand Forks, part of a collection of rocks - the color and the rest of the collection make me suspect it was found locally by a collector. And, on the left, a large green quartz crystal - found in a thrift shop in Rossland for a $1.00 - again, the color, the condition, suggest to me it was picked up locally and probably by someone who didn't think to dig any deeper...
Anyways, both reminders of the treasures I should be keeping my eyes peeled for come spring...
