Not especially.
You?
Not much history here and everything is so far apart so it would be like finding a needle in a haystack, finding anything interesting. One local man found a wooly mamoth tusk though - currently on display at the library. It looks like a piece of driftwood.
I've had too much time on my hands recently, and this has got me thinking.
Where did he find the tusk and why wasn't it handed in to the police? I dont know how the law works in North USA, but here in good old soon-to-be-independant-but-skint Scotland, when you find something that isn't yours, you hand it in to the police and you get your slip to say you handed it in. Six months down the line, if nobody has claimed it, you get finders-keepers rights, and the item becomes yours.
Now allowing for the fact that wooly mammoths are (last time I checked) extinct, I would have thought that this fine, upstanding North USA-nian, would have had no worries about doing the right thing and handed it in to police lost property. I mean, was he worried a one-toothed elephant was going to fling on an oversized Afghan, fake a passport D.o.B to say 13/02/4000BC and head to the police station and attempt a fraudulent claim? Surely not. So did he follow the correct procedure? I'm thinking the following:
1. Yes he did...in which case ignore the rest of this keech.
2. No he didn't...in which case read on if you can be bothered.
3. He found it buried in a car park and hoped a news story would come of it.
4. He thought it was a piece of driftwood and took it to the local driftwood library where it was put next to "Driftwood that looks like Mammoth Tusks" by Dr. Ift Wood
5. It's actually a Roman coin and nobody has noticed.
I'm sorry, but sometimes you have to know these things.
