Craigslist Finds (Columbia River Artifact Collection)

[buckhunter]

Thought you all would enjoy this...found on craigslist. Not sure what the asking price is but I imagine it's pretty hefty. The bottom link is to the museum and there are a lot of pages of artifacts to look at.

I don't even know what to say about that.

[finderskeepers]

now that is awesome .

That's been on the market for several years now.
Hard to tell how large the collection is.

[Steve Valentine]

WOW!!!

Thanks for the link Buckhunter. That is by far one of most impressive collections I have ever seen. Who ever the lucky person is that can afford to buy that collection is going to be rewarded with some very fine artifacts.

I'm the guy that built that website. The collection has not been up for sale for several years. It's only been for sale for around a month now. Fred is having an open house if your in the neighborhood give him a call. Here is a copy of the email he sent me.

There are some very well known folks on the invite list. It would be well worth the visit

Hello to all of our friends New and Old. Janet, has informed me that July 25, 09 is her Open House and wish all to addend. Daughters Andrea and family from Belgium are here on a month tour or the Pacific Northwest. Other family members are ask to arrive on the same day for a visit. As normal I'll be in charge of art, artifacts, diamonds, and beer. We have lots of room for over 75 people or so. Beer is Free and the artifacts viewing is free. The shack we call home is almost 6,000 sq. ft. and we will have hamburgs, hot dogs, and German Sausage and lots of salads for free. For directions please go to msn.com search and type in Columbia River Diamonds. The direction are on the diamond page, and nobody has to purchase a diamond. I'll leave them locked up in the vault. Attached are two photos of the home which over looks the Lower Columbia River Gorge. Watch the large ship taking our gain, potato, wood products to other lands who wish to kill us all. Drink a soda pop or a cold beer and have something to eat on us.

great job Joel. I really enjoyed looking at these photographs.

[Mojave]

Well I guess that raises the chinning bar a tad!
Thanks for sharing.

Holy Crap..I was about 1/4 mile from there this week on a job..Had no idea it existed. I'm gonna look into visiting I go through Kalama every other week.

I am with you Trask, I can fly from Spokane to Portland for around a $100. I dont think Kalama is to far for a rental car. I thought it would be a awesome day trip to see his collection. I found his website about a month ago, and have been planning on trying to see it ever sense. Kevin
