I have a fair amount of artifacts, Mostly grinding stones Pestals and a few other goodies.
Nothing of real value but I really am proud to be a keeper of them.
I never looked at it as if I own them. I share with people who show interest in the Native Americans that were here before our time.
My question is in regard to the laws of possession. Most all of what I have was given to me by an older guy that gathered it back in the day. Some I found myself when he took me hunting around Lake Elsinore.
Also as he taught me the best place to find artifacts is to go to old abandoned ranch or farm houses usually they had land, the people who had originally found stuff on their property would put it in the planters around their house.
The thing is the plants grow over them, the people get old forget and sell their property move off and leave them behind.
Am I in violation of any state or federal laws???
Thanks for any advise, I realize it is advice and not legal consultation.
