When I lived in North Arkansas I found this shovel. It's very old and the handle is hand carved. The woman who lived on that land before me found Indian arrowheads and other artifacts. Her family lived there for many generations and she said the Osage Indians used to live on our land. I believe the shovel might have belonged to an Indian child that lived there around the 1900's because its a fairly modern shovel. The shovel part is metal and Indians were trading a lot with white people in the area in the 1900's. Goods were easily brought in by train during that time.
The Osage Nation, originally named Ni-u-kon-ska means, “People of the Middle Waters”. They were the tallest race of men in North America at six and a half to seven feet tall. They have been associated with people who live deep in the earth in the numerous caves and caverns in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas. Every once in a while very tall, very white people are seen at the entrances to the caverns. Rumors and stories of the tall white people who live in middle earth abound in Arkansas. Here's a story of one such discovery by a group of explorers.

Oh noooo. We've had too many up close and personal experiences. Last night, I walked into the kitchen and was smacked in the nose with one of their calling cards - must have let loose on that side of the house.
We've got a couple that hang around our pond in the back yard. We just bought one of those night vision type game cameras and have been enjoying seeing who's been prowling around after hours.
Between the neighborhood roaming cats, skunks, opossums, and raccoons, it's a busy place after dark!!!
We call one of the skunks "Waddles". That's because...well, he does!

Looking forward to seeing a few you have caught on camera!
I loved hearing about the story behind these two.
This method of sharing would be a great way to teach young folk in a home schooling/unschooling type situation , especially if those sharing are friends of those learning.

Here is a pottery type of sculpture that my cousin Robyn created years ago. Robyn was a very creative person and did win prizes for wearable arts costumes before she died of cancer back 2005. (The World of Wearable Art, known as WOW, is a renowned international design competition here in New Zealand that attracts hundreds of entries from all over the world. Among the prizes, finalists can win internships with leading creative companies such as Weta Workshop. (https://www.worldofwearableart.com/about/))
I am not sure what inspired Robyn, but this is obviously an ET based design. I didn't mean to focus on an ET theme but thought this was interesting to share.
On the top of this piece is an interesting symbol/design. I applied the below image with a filter to provide some ancient atmosphere.

First one looks like a lion person.
Second one looks like an archeo-astronomy carving.
Very cool.

The first one's of an opossum and a skunk, the second one is a skunk, and the third is a raccoon! It's a "happenin'" place after dark, apparently.
I'm still trying to figure the camera out and lighting/focus are a bit touchy, but we're getting there!Attachments

That symbol somehow reminds me of "symbols in an alien sky"...

To me he is the best bear ever. The story behind him? I won him in a raffle, so we were obviously meant to be together. Thats it just wanted to share.

I was a stuffed animal lover when I was little (looks around to make sure nobody's looking and lowers his voice to a whisper)...still am, actually.
I've got a good sized collection of bears that are very special. But don't tell anybody...

Hello Max. Welcome to the RoundTable. Looking forward to your contributions.
I read all of that article Vickie, absolutely fascinating! I am going to read it again tomorrow and maybe explore more because I believe there are similar caves and tunnel complexes here in Scotland too. Thank you for sharing this. I love it and your shovel.
This is my bedside table with all my treasures 
Hag stones, which I collect and were ancient Druidic totems (they were said to give sight beyond sight and into the Otherworld); sea glass; and crystals (inc crystal beads when they break) - there's rose quartz, clear and smokey quartz, larimar, opalite, moonstone, and a couple of stones people gifted me and I'm not 100% sure what they may be!
The picture is by my angel friend, brother from another mother and true beautiful soul who passed two years back.
They're pretty humble as treasures go, but each has a story and personality and I love them all

What a cache of treasures! I was once told by a medicine woman that stones with natural holes were special so I have collected a few when I see them, but never heard of them called hag stones until you mentioned that. Thank you for the lesson! I shall look for them again. I noticed I placed one at my entrance. Perhaps that was a good idea.
It might just be the British name for them? Here they're called hag stones or adder/serpent stones (because they form the infinity symbol of the orouboros, the snake swallowing its own tail). They are great talismans to have at doors and windows.

Love that Lois, especially the sea glass. Used to spend hours collecting it in Thailand. Once I get some money, crystals are first on my list, after socks and knickers.View attachment 929 This is my bedside table with all my treasures

I see green for the heart chakra and blue tones moving higher up, and there is a lot of natural energy in the collection. With the stones with holes (hag stones you called them?) I get the words: eyes on the ground. Also, it's as if the cosmic artist (time and rolling waves in underwater currents perhaps swishing the stones backwards and forwards) has bore-drilled the holes ready for the elemental or human being to hang them as a pendant. What a treat. I also feel, having these at your bedside is opening a connection in sleep to the universal field of energy, or ocean.View attachment 929 This is my bedside table with all my treasures

I absolutely agree, and do wear the smaller ones as pendants. Let me know your postal address and I'll send you one. I'll see which one wants to come to you xxx
Oh I love this thread!! I don't have anything particularly intriguing worth sharing (that I can think of anyway!) but I love seeing what everyone else has posted
