Alright so the imperial officer in Buckmoth made me go check out his house, for any Dwemer artifacts there, but I can't find any... Am I not looking hard enough, or what's the deal?

all i found was some raw ebony and once i took that he attacked so i killed him...i think he is attached to some smugglers but since i killed him i didn't get to explore everything about that mission..however killing him does complete the mission but i dont think its the best outcome you could get.

it's well hidden on some dwener pots. you actually have to stand on the table to see it. oh, it's northeast tsble from the door.
