Here in the interior of Alaska we find woolly mammoth trunks quite often. They are usually not buried that deep.
The story is that a woolly mammoth was seen in the l800s.
This story was given to me by my husband who was born in Alaska. There weren’t any details and he wasn’t pulling my leg. (He doesn’t even understand sarcasm that well.)
Did he know Sarah Palin? ;-)
I used to work at a gold mine at Nome, and when I would man the sluice box, I kept an eye on things that looked like ivory. I would have loved to get a big mammoth tusk.
