Jimmy Mattingly Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Has anyone seen this story? Green River Archaeological Society's Jan edition tells that a KY man found what may be the oldest fishing lure found in North America. It's called a 'gorge'...story tells also that it's made of locust wood and may be the only wooden one in existence. WOW!! 1 Quote
