Joe Harl, of the Archaeological Research Center of St. Louis, said the size of the hook suggests the fisherman who used it was after a larger fish.

Now don't go too far out on the limb, Joe.

The hook is made of bone and covers his entire palm, making it much larger than most bone hooks.

Obviously a muskie fisherman.

Nice! My guess is far less than 12,000 years.

Bone can be radiocarbon dated. Won't take much bone, but would cost about $675 at the main US commercial lab.

Henley credits his sons, 11 and 6, for being good-luck charms because he made the discovery on the first trip the boys had joined their dad for an artifact hunt.

Maybe he should have his "good-luck charms" tote shovels and screens when he next loots aboriginal graves on Public Lands.

This creep needs a whopping fine and/or jail time to teach him this simple lesson:

You cannot steal our heritage from our property for your shoebox.

And when he told his buddies one of them said: "That's nothing, I once caught a fishhook this big!"

(300-12,000 Years Old)

Sorry, but even if it were Adam's hook (which is quite unlikely), it could of been 6,600 years old at the most!
