[@WoomyNNYes Oh wow that's amazing! I wonder if there's anymore in that river? Hmm
It was in the bay, in the traverse city area. I would imagine there could possibly be more stuff there. Or maybe it's not that unique of a find. I don't know. Anyway, that was my grandparents house beach, and I found the artifacts just before we sold the house (after my grandmother passed away). And... I'm not going to tell the new owners that I found them.🤣
I know the traverse city bay area had native populations. And ancient native trails traversing lower michigan intersect there. So, it's possible my find wasn't that unique.
@Professor_Plumber Not that all mobile games are bad - some are excellent - but they're definitely different from many traditional console or even handheld experiences.
@MarioLover92 I actually consulted a map for the regions I've been to and actually hit many of them already even without the shrine sensor, but I still did miss roughly 3-4. Mainly in the Eldin region. The ones I would typically miss were underground. Some of the caves are hidden very well.
The main problem when I was a kid was both my parents were usually busy with work, and I lived in the boonies. Outside of the bus to and from school, it was hard for me to get much of anywhere until I got my driver's license. I did play some sports, but typically the ones that didn't involve driving a fair distance. Plus I fell out of sports almost completely by high school since the ones that were available to me weren't really my thing lol.
Visually, Shadow Dragon is a pretty neat game. Like the GBA FE titles, it was slightly anime-ish but had its own identity. The 3DS games on up went a more anime route. I'm not complaining, just that the earlier visual styles were more distinct IMO. And I went back and played them later! XD I did think about grabbing Captain Toad again on the Switch, but at this point I think I'd rather play a full sequel. It was very refreshing at the time, and the Captain Toad sections are one of my favorite things about Super Mario 3D World. Now THAT I double-dipped for, just haven't played it yet. It's sitting in my Switch's digital storage right now. One of the few retail games I grabbed digital since the DL size wasn't huge, and I don't ever anticipate selling it.
Oh crap. I think I might have a piece of native american pottery. I kept this piece because it was strangely thin piece of sandstone from an ancient dune, and it had interesting patterns on it. It never crossed my mind it could be pottery, because it's flat.
When I search native american pottery pieces, I see similar flat pieces that have similar stippled pattern. And I guess the reverse side was combed.
Wow, I've been sitting on this piece since 2016. If this is pottery, I don't want to drop it back into the plastic bag with the other stone tools.🤣
It's tough to see in my pic, but some of the dimples on mine have what look like hair marks in them, which puzzled me. But it appears natives pressed woven fabrics into pottery to make pattern imprints. Fabric imprints would explain the hair marks inside the dimples.
@Tyranexx Oh yeah, those caves can be very well hidden for sure. I'm pretty sure I have one shrine to go on ground level, but I don't think I can get to that just yet. There's a door that can't be opened since one of the Yiga guys tells you that they won't speak to those who aren't part of the Yiga clan... I think I need all three of those Yiga armor pieces.
Yeah, sports during school weren't exactly my cup of tea, either. I'd just do my classes and that's it. Come to think of it, I'm not much of a sports guy in general. My dad was huge into watching baseball and hockey, and I think football as well, but that just never was my thing. Mario Tennis is pretty fun at least... but I'll always like the platformers and Mario Kart a heck of a lot more. I also like the RPGs and even the Mario Party games.
Yeah it seems that the later FE games had a decidedly more anime look. It doesn't bother me personally, I honestly have a soft spot for anime, lol. I double dipped on Super Mario 3D World as well. It's one of my favorite games of all time, plus it came with a bonus game in the form of Bowser's Fury, which I also liked. I wouldn't mind a 3D World sequel, either... but I'm in no rush for that since Super Mario Bros. Wonder looks totally awesome.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
