In 1965, a young girl on a picnic found what she thought at first to be a small grinding stone. It turned out to be a 900-year-old pottery jar containing 1,212 beads, 240 pendants, all of turquoise, and 36 perforated glycimeris shells. Hohokam culture, Arizona State Museum [2001×1415]

> On January 17, 1965, a young girl named Tani Bahti, on a picnic found what she thought at first to be a small grinding stone. It turned out to be a pottery jar with a bowl as a lid, containing 1,212 beads, 240 pendants, two domed beads, two frog pendants, one flat bead and one pendant fragment, all of turquoise, three carved glycimeris shell birds, one shell bead, and 36 perforated glycimeris shells. The cache dated to about 1100 CE based on the pottery jar and lid, both of which were identified as Gila plainware of the Rincon phase of the Hohokam culture. The site of the find is the southern face of Huerfano Butte, located west of the Santa Rita Mountains and several miles south of the mining town of Helvetia (excerpt from A Cache at Huerfano Butte by Mark Bahti).
