Hey all!
Just an FYI that sifting does not only apply to beach front fossil hunting. Outside of pulling rock from the ground, one great way to find smaller fossils is digging up a bucket worth of dirt at a good dig site and sifting through the debris. I dig for and collect Ordovician fossils, so I will not only excavate land for fossilized fossil plates but I will sift through the loose dirt for corals, trilobites, smaller shells, rogose...etc...
