"So easily seen, so easily and during the course of a walk, a few miles, one can discover many, I have filled a dog sled full of antlers just in one day, just got into an area that a herd had been...some of the Caribou antlers were sculptures all by themselves, nothing could be done to them to make them better except bring them in the house." "I have sculpted them however, and has been a very fine display...on the wall."

"Caribou Antler..dropped just anywhere in the tundra, in any river, on the beaches or discovered in Ice Age fossil deposits. With any set of binoculars one can spot Moose Antlers, as with any bone in such 'open' spaces in the Tundra all across the Arctic as for miles there are virtually few obstructions.  Although the specimens from the 'Ice Age' are rich, and beautiful with blues, greens, oranges and black colors, they are my most prized discoveries, with ages over 20,000 years."  "It is so incredible to discover from such an age, and actually, it is not too difficult to acquire a collection!"

"They live in the mud, the sand and gravel they dwell, and move only when the river moves them, downstream to the Arctic Ocean, all the while they cover ground, going underground for a time then only to resurface, and continue on, until I find them, then their journey really...begins." "Woolly Mammoth Tusk, exposed from their buried place in the ice, from the end of the Ice Age, until now"

"Admittedly, a 'Gold Nugget' of this size will be extremely rare to discover without the aid of heavy mining equipment, but I have had a friend 'Robert Oberman' of Yakatat, (Southeast Alaska) claimed he discovered a nugget the size of a baseball lying in a creek 'visible' as was wedged in a crack on the bedrock.  Exposed bedrock is probably the only way to surface discover a gold nugget as it would be visible and could not gravitate further down in sediment."

"Prior to my seasonal Arctic expeditions, I usually visit areas such as Dawson City, after Fairbanks and through Denali park making my rounds.  Many occasions I traverse the country seeking Moose or Caribou antlers for my collection, but on occasion, and rather rarely I discover something more exotic...such as this winter kill Grizzly Bear skull, discovered north of Fairbanks, Alaska.  I never know what I will discover but the idea is to always to 'cover' ground, as the more ground I explore the greater possibility of finding something.  On more than one occasion I have had friends whom have discovered gold nuggets in shallow creek beds...just lying in the bedrock exposed by the creek."

"A recent illustration (I penciled sketched) of an Inuit attacing a stone projectile onto a 'lance' shaft. Typically these fragile stone blades were carried around in a wooden 'blade' shaped containers to protect  them from damage as the hunter required them. It is not uncommon to discover 'cached blades' in an archaeological excavation.  The hunters often buried the blades to protect them from damage and relied on memory to retrieve them (actually many are within the subterranean house sites).  The goal is to discover such a cache, as I have not been able to date...I do not excavate but discover 'surface' finds."

"Ancient Inuit 'Harpoon' projectile toggle, discovered in a 'ground squirrel' den in the Kotzebue, region of Alaska during one of my many and annual expeditions to the Arctic.  Camping and exploring the beaches and river tributaries in these regions results in a myriad of animal sightings and remnants of the 'Ice Age.'  (note: 'The insert on the tip of the harpoon is friction fit slate blade that a groove in the harpoon is suitably made."
