Question
I found a wooden object along the shoreline in Charleston, Oregon names Fossil Point.  I was hunting Late Miocene Mollusks when I came across this wooded object.  I checked out Runestone objects as I have studied this some a few years ago.  It looks like ("Feoh") also ("Fehu") by the Nortic People's.  It means "Possession's, literally meaning moveable wealth or possessiions.  I have a picture taken of this object of which I can email it to you to check out.  Just wanted to make sure if it is this Nortic or historic or Pre-Columbian artifact.  Thenk you for any help.  Larry

Answer
Hi Larry,

There is a way to attache photos to your All Experts questions but I'm not sure how it is done.  So in the mean time, you can send me the pic at rsalier@hotmail.com and put in the subject line Fossil Point Artifact.  Please send me a follow up question so that I can provide you the answer. or I will contact you via return email from your pic.
