My name is Ben. I am from the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. I am an entrepreneur that makes a living being a full time treasure hunter. That said, I explore North America in search of treasure in all of its glorious forms. Native American arts and artifacts started as a casual interest, but as time went on I found myself wanting to continue diving deeper and deeper. It started with cool pieces of turquoise, then jewelry, and specialized hallmarks. From there it blew up into connecting all of these pieces into a story of how and why something was made, who made it, the lineage.. I try to take what I learn and share the stories of how things came to be.

If there is truly something I want you to know about me, it is that I have a deep love of learning and sharing. I hope I can be an asset on this forum. I look forward to reading and conversing.

Thank you if you took the time to read this.

Sincerely,

Ben
