[QUOTE="Average Joe, post: 111565, member: 2289"] I'm suprised at some of the comments here, in a good way. Back in 2003 i was digging around a local lake in the grampians area and i came across some really nice Aboriginal stone relics, i put them in the car and didnt think about them for quite a while. I thought they were good luck charms or something... Anyway, over the next 3 years i did alot of travelling and had more than my fair share of bad luck. I met an Aboriginal fella one night and we talked about the stone relics. He told me that they had to go back were i found them and that if i did respect them i would be rewarded... I did return them when i hit rock bottom with my bad luck and everything changed overnight. not only that, i was turning over a new vegie patch a few years later and to my suprise was a greenstone axehead and an old Aboriginal grinding stone right were i was gunna plant my tomatoes. Take from that what you will, but its 100% truth, my stance is to leave cultural artifacts were they are found. Its just about respect. I wouldnt want someone taking bits of me when im gone. [/QUOTE]
