Picture 5/22: Found a Bead

May 22

(picture 143 of 365)

Was working outside this afternoon.

Look what I found in a bag of Menard's top soil:

Is that an Indian bead?

I think it might be.

There was a gal (Audrey) in my graduating class who could tell me for sure.  I remember her (in elementary days) being interested in searching for Indian beads, arrowheads, etc.

For now, I am going to call it an Indian bead.  In fact, I'm going to say it dates back to 1825.  And is from the Illini tribe.

How's that for blind confidence?

Out for now........
