Some of
Mikey's Artifacts |
We
enjoyed a private viewing of Mikey's Artifacts.
What a collection he has. These were just pottery
pieces alone!

A Mystery
Bowl? |
|
We don't understand yet why the inside of
this fired Native American bowl is black. The black is
obviously charcoal,and still has the charcoal smell. It looks
like a fig newton, so we
called it the "Fig Newton
Bowl"

rocks! We were truly amazed
at Mikey's entire collection, much of which we did not see
displayed, and which he has in boxes. So we are showing
only a portion of it here.

MIKEY'S ARTIFACTS
(803)
584-2610
"Native American
Artifacts"
Mikey Oglesby , ALlendale, SC (amateur archeologist),
holding a display of some of the artifacts he has found.
The one he is pointing to was examined by Dr. Al Goodyear,
archaeologist at the Topper Site Archeology Dig near Allendale, and
is reported to be around 9,000 years old. Mikey has
found some very interesting Native American Artifacts, and he has
many pottery pieces, whose era can be determined by
comparing them to a Native American Artifacts chart. Most of
his aratifacts are dated in the 4000-5000 year era, but
he has not yet found any older than about 10,000
years. He feels that he will eventually find them much older than
this
. Below is a close up of the big artifact in the
middle of this display. This is his "prize" artifact. Mikey
has Native American blood on both his mother and father's side of
the family. On his mother's side, he has Cherokee, and on his
father's side he has Croatan/Cherokee..
We do not know if this is some sort of
hatchet, or type of tomahawk, but we believe it was some sort
of tool. It is in one piece and is not broken at
all. He has been offered $3000 and up for it, but it is
not for sale. You can reach Mikey at (803) 584-2610, and
mention you read about his artifacrs on our
magazine.
