RJB Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I started fossil hunting about 27 years ago. My kids were quite young at the time but I also made it a point to go on one big fossil hunting adventure once a year. My kids are all grown and have their own lives but they sure saw and did a heck of alot while they lived at home! Back in these early days I would always stop at this one particulare rock shop and do some trading but in a back room were these gigantic dino bones!!! Got all my boys a workin!! Crack that whip I say!!! I think this was our first trip to Tinsky's? Back at Scotia I was always lookin for these pectins. The very first big fish I ever found. Still have this one. I didnt have much moneys in these old days and made this frame out of some 2x4 and found some free mahogany and did some carving. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to tell the kids that if they work they get dinner but didn's have to when it came to fossil hunting. they couldn't do much but was lots of fun just to have them out there and watch them have fun.
