If you have a passion for Indian Artifacts, I hope you'll check out http://www.loitwoodrelics.com !   My late grandparents, Howard & Kathryn Loitwood  of Gettysburg, SD, hunted Indian relics in South Dakota between 1925 and 1967 and amassed the most amazing collection of Arikara Artifacts that will blow you away.  Years later, my parents, Bernie and Diana Webb of Gettysburg, SD, mounted only the good artifacts on about 70 boards.   We believe this amazing family collection is likely the largest private Indian relic collection in the nation...if there's a bigger one, we haven't heard of it.   Just recently, my Dad (Bernie Webb) and my Uncle ("Tick" Loitwood) divided the collection, and they are now planning to sell their share of the collection on their own. 

If you're interested in my Uncle Tick's collection, you can go to http://www.loitwoodrelics.com website.  To contact my Dad, Bernie Webb, about the other half of the collection, you can email him at bwebb@venturecomm.net 

Per the request of some of you, we have now hyperlinked all of the pictures of the relic boards on the loitwoodrelics.com website, so you can now get a picture perfect look at each of these amazing boards.   Just double click on the boards you're interested in.  
I made http://www.loitwoodrelics.com website for my Uncle Tick and Aunt Barb, and it is dedicated to my late grandparents, Howard & Kathyrn Loitwood, and my mother, the late Diana Webb.

Keith: ...
I have a curved shape stone that is approx. two feet wide and three feet long. on The inside of the curve there is sharp teeth on it. The guy that I bought it off of told me it was from the Seneca Indian Tribe, that once was in the valley of Warren County, Penna. When they built the Kinzua Damn they relocated the Indians to New York and this stone was left behind. Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you
