After finding the first Oregon City cache and additional artifacts in the area around the cache site, the search for artifacts with carved images was expanded to include the Clackamas river basin, the lower Columbia river basin, the Molalla river basin, and the Willamette river basin.  Surface searches only were conducted along the rivers and selected areas under construction.  The following artifacts are the result of those searches.
