Not technically a "find" since it was never lost. My father-in-law carved this tiki in the 60s. In the late 70s he sold it to a family that lives down the road from me where it guarded their driveway for 25 years. Last month I noticed it was leaning and in danger of falling, I contacted the owner and we struck a deal for me to buy it. At 10 feet tall, it weighs much more than I expected - I estimate about 300 lbs.
