Follow if you like rock hounding, fossil and petrified wood hunting, metal detecting, fishing, hiking, harvesting wild plants and mushrooms, the outdoors in general. My politics are considered left-leaning today. I block maga, trolls, scams, bots, etc.

If the boats were going to meet other, presumably larger boats on the ocean somewhere to offload the drugs, wouldnโ€™t it make sense to catch them at it? It seems to me you could break open a whole operation that way and make more arrests.

Whenever one of these a-holes starts with โ€œLetโ€™s make one thing crystal clearโ€, things are about to get really murky.

It must have been fun digging that stuff out! Some jewelry makers prefer that really colorful PW but it takes a lot of work and time to turn a nice profit on a bulk purchase like that. For me, the fun is finding wood permineralized in such a way that the species is identifiable and sometimes rare.

Wow! I probably would have tried to outbid whoever bought it! ๐Ÿคฃ Though I probably have enough of it around here. Itโ€™s part of our landscaping and bunches of it on the shelves, etc. Most was collected at various exposures in Tx. when I lived there.

I lived in Plattsburgh, N.Y. for a time and I had a pretty good spot on Lake Champlain to detect for a while. Silver Canadian quarters would turn up occasionally but they were earlier than 1968. Cool to learn that some from that year could be silver though!

I got to try drying and making a tea from yaupon holly leaves when I lived in Tx. I found it to have a pleasant taste and the caffeine seemed to be about the equivalent of Lipton tea or something. It grew alongside Japanese Holly which I understand is toxic, but itโ€™s easy to learn the difference!

I decided to tumble a barrel of strictly petrified wood last week. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it up to change to the next grit! The 4 smaller pieces are from PNW beaches. The large one I picked up rock hounding on a friendโ€™s ranch near San Antonio when I lived in Tx. #rockhound

He made his career on television and has a makeup room but he doesnโ€™t understand how television works. Got it.
