Collectors with money pay big money for relics. I saw a white pipe that was shaped like a bald Eagle sell for 32,000 over 20 years ago. I have no problem with finding relics in a farming operation, washed creek, etc but when it comes to the robbing of the burials I am totally against it. Most on here have no idea what folks will do to dig up relics. Like I stated earlier, There is huge money in relics today.




Thank you for clarifying your stance. I understand.

If I found an "arrow head" on my property I would probably keep it too. My best friend just turned 80 and he has quite a few Native American and Civil War relics, he is in the process of donating most of them to museums for posterity sake.
