Hello all, (I do hope I've gotten this in the correct category) I'm considering trying to invest in an air abrasive setup for fossil prep. Mainly looking to find something that will be capable of some light matrix removal in tight spaces. I already have a functional air compressor and I find these kits online for cheap. My questions are simply, are these cheap pens functional for prep? And will the aluminum oxide they come with be safe for fossils? Thanks for all of your help and guidance!

Hey Everyone, Ive been thinking that it’s about time I more heavily invested in my passion. Thusly, I’ve been curious about acquiring a gps. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good handheld gps that won’t break the bank? Is it possible to display USGS Topography and Geological survey maps? I don’t really want to spend more than $300. Any Response would be greatly appreciated. You guys are the best. With gratitude. -Nick.

Hey-Oh!!!! I found some little neat containers for super cheap and thought I'd share what and where! First pics are from Walmart's Back 2 School section. These were $1 dollar each. They are stackable, have two latches for containment and are great for smaller finds that are worth separating out and isolation. Second are classic plastic cotton ball containers that were being merchandised as small screw containers at Mendards. These come in two sizes (can't remember what) and they are $1.88 per container. I like these for separating my new finds that are smaller and need to soak in vinegar/etc... to further break down any matrix. OR as another source of stackable containers. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!!! Steve

What do you think is the best bang for your buck fossil?
SimpleCollector100 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I wonder if like in other hobbies, there is something that is quite affordable and common but is consider a great purchase? Something that is a great value for the $. Is there such a thing in the fossil world? If so what would you say that is? (Maybe a different answer for those who search for fossils vs purchasing them).
