Be at the auction. Duane will take two bids slam the hammer down and say "SOLD". A week later it's in his store at two to three times the price. Been there seen it.

What auction is that ?

Alaska auction company

That is worth a lot of money

Now we know where the one that got away from White went.

There are known places in Alaska that people hunt for Ivory and bones. I've seen stacks of mastodon tusks, tho mostly broken, in a Seward Peninsula village. Another is a frozen sand bluff on the Yukon R. It is locally called the boneyards.

Natives only?

It would but then it would depend on what state and what their laws about minerals are and who owns the right, here in Minnesota most mineral rights for the majority of property are owned by the government, so if you found gold on your farm they could go in or lease those right to someone else and leave you out in the cold, and might not even be liable for damage and destruction of your property

So if it was me and Found gold or other valuables I would quietly mine it and say I got it or found it somewhere else

I am sure when they find the projectile point that it will lead back to Mnman and Trapstick guys hunting them

Cool

I didn't know that nightlife^^^

After years of environmental impact studies and Indian protests, mining would be denied.

No. Old stuff, walrus, mastodon can be harvested and sold by anyone. Only stickler is land ownership. Items found on govt. land technically belong to the govt.
