Blesener asked if he has presented these artifacts to any <br /> archeological societies for analysis. Himmelbach reported on letters that <br /> he has received from the former State Archeologist and an expert on <br /> Indian artifacts which indicated that there is significant archeological <br /> interest in this area, but nothing has been pinned down. Blesener noted <br /> that Mr. Himmelbach has had these artifacts for a number of years and has <br /> not pursued the issue with the proper experts. Blesener asked why not. <br /> Himmelbach stated that he is not sure. <br /> 4 <br /> <br />
