Prospector thrives on finds
American Indian fishhook crafted from bone feeds curiosity about the catch of the day.

By JANESE HEAVIN of the Tribune?s staff   Published Sunday, December 31, 2006

A Holts Summit man found a rare fishhook carved from bone in the Missouri River this month, and experts say it could be anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of years old.

Eric Henley of Holts Summit displays a bone fishhook he found this month near McBaine along the Missouri River that some say dates back at least hundreds of years. Henley?s find is much larger than most American Indian fishhooks that have been recovered.
Eric Henley, who has been hunting arrowheads and other American Indian artifacts for 13 years, found the hook on a gravel bar in the river near McBaine.

"The first thing I thought is, ?I hope this isn?t metal,? " . . . . . . .

Great contribution, Sweet Sue.  I'll admit I'd never given any thought as to how fish were hooked in the olden days.  And that guy has a great smile, too. Wink

I'm curious how big a fish one could actually catch with a large hook made from bone like the one pictured.  Huh?
