I love searching for unusual or beautiful rocks and am always amazed with the variety of what you can find.  It might be just a fun rock, geode, fossil, or artifact but the searching is the best, and I will bring home anything neat I find. Most of my finds were when I was looking for artifacts, but stumbled on a fossil or geode. I have divided the pages into categories of what I collect and  the pages are listed above. I have found most of the items and are surface finds.  

I make no claims to be an expert but I am trying to display what I feel are neat or unusual items. I examine each item to find gripping areas, the patina, right or left handed use, and what purpose it might have. With the time span of tens of thousands of years and the numerous tribes and groups, there could be a huge number of different types of items.  My sole intention is to simply show items.

 The area I search is approximately 25 miles as the crow files from " Big Eddy", which was the first site they discovered each period in one location and they have gone past the Clovis era and are still digging the last I heard. 

 ​I think the crystal in the cavity is simply beautiful. The sides are very smooth and I believe the patina comes from Native Americans handling the item. It is 9"W,7"D,5"H and weighs 9.39lbs. This was found in a very, small creek across from a natural prairie.

This is one of the creeks I have permission to search in. Rain will uncover items I did not see on my last search so each time, it's a new adventure. Some photos will show the item as I discovered it and the outcome.

If there is any item(s) you would like more info or photos of, please let me know the specific item(s) and what you would like and I will do my best to fulfill the request.
