Theft of Antiquities in Dells Canyon

[one_bad_rover]

So some of you might have seen this, but for those who havent...
The ore bucket that has been hanging in Dells canyon for almost 65 years is now gone. Some a$$hole thought that it would look better in their yard then out for the public.
The Antiquities Act specifically notes that any item of potential Historical signifigance that is, or appears to be over 50 years old should not be touched or removed. Removal of any item of this sort is a federal crime.
In this case it should be prosecuted.

GRE is posting a $500 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of this individual or persons responsible for this.

here is the last pic we have of the Ore bucket from Feb. 2009

Can't thank you enough for stepping up to the plate on this. I think is fair to say our entire group was a little disheartened by the missing bucket on our last visit.

Here is another thought, on sites which DOGM is successful in forcing reclamation, perhaps we can petition and force them to require cataloging and extraction of artifacts.
