sureshot Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I found this the other day hiking the hills in search of a monster mule deer, just the one tip out of the ground by a dry spring bed, I talked to a guy who does a bunch of old artifacts ect and he said the minerals and iron in the spring water preserved it and he says by the horn shape and the 13 inch width between the bases of the horns its prob a really old buffalo plate,he says it could be up to 3500 hundred years old but has to do some tests to prove it, he says this buff prob stood 7 ft at the shoulder, he kind of wants me to put it in the mueseum but I am not sure, sure will look good in my livingroom lol!!not even sure if I will get it tested or not, its a awsoem find for me!!

Tominator Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'd get it tested, hold on to it for awhile, then probably donate it to a museum if it is indeed that important. Really cool find Bret, congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aksheephuntress Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 ...Yes, I agree with everyone above....-it would be neat to have it tested! -ok...here are the pictures (sorry, I took them real quick, while doing a few other things )...of the one here at the house... (I couldn't help including a sheep in one of the pictures...) -this gives me an idea to include some investigation into the Pleistocene era this afternoon, with the kids' homeschool...(now that I can spell it correctly-) ...btw-can you see the 2" of snow on the ground,through the window??
