Local Youth Collects Rare Indian Relics in Florida
Mount Dora youth Ben Sleight, 16, has one of the region’s best private collections of Indian relics. He has excavated eight mounds near Lake Dora and Lake Harris, uncovering pottery, arrowheads, spears, tomahawks, and bone tools linking early Florida tribes to Ponce de Leon era trade and hunting grounds. He hopes continued digging may reveal lost ancient sites.
