Default RE: Have you ever found a Knife or other gear while on the hunt?

My family own land in Nebraska, and on that land there's a Lakota holy site. It's a burial ground, and the Lakota would mainly bury horses there, but they also buried people there too.

When my great-grandfather was a small boy, in the early 1900s, probably around WWI, these archeologists came and excavated the site, looking for two people that had been buried there.

There was a legend behind those two people, one was a brave, the other was an Indian princess(this is going to sound very stereotypical, but here it goes!).

The brave fell in love with the princess, but her father wouldn't let them get married, so the brave and the princess jumped off a butte together, and they hit the ground below the butte whichthen became the holy site.

The archeologists dug up the two bodies, and then they took them to a musem(with my great-great-grandfather's permission,of course), where they are today. There are horses still buried there, and I guess the people would be buried with stuff, probably valueable, but we don't want to dig them up, it's disrespectful, and the Lakotas would get really mad. Probably some medicine men would send us death threats or something.

My grandpa once found a rusted upmini revolverout there. It's not usable anymore, because the hammer is rotted away, and so is the trigger, and the chambers don't revolve. The sights are still there, the bullets rotted away,but it's a reall cool gun.
