RJB Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 People have always told me that one of the best place to hunt for fossils is my garage. Ha! Anyways, a few months ago I ran into a guy who started hunting for fossils way back in 1953! I went there today. Took me 6 1/2 hours to drive there and back, but,,, I gots me 6 more unprepped lobster concretions! WooooooHooooooo!!! He told me that he thinks he found them in the late 50's or early 60's. Wow!!! anyways these are all mine! Im just about the happiest camper on the planet right now! Here is a pic of them on my tailgate. Just looking at them makes me drool!!!

jpc Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Nice find, RB. Those lobsters take a ton of time to prep... Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilshale Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Hey Jace. Updates may be a few years. Im trying to stockpile a bunch of good stuff to prep out later in my life. RB RB, don't wait too long - otherwise you will have to tell someone in the future (may be in the year 2030?): Got this stuff in 2014 from a guy who found them in the late 50's or early 60's. Wanted to prep them out later in my life, but never managed to do so... If I look at all the unprepped stuff I hoard in my cellar I am getting sick...

RJB Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks guys. If I didn't have so much to do in the 'building' area, I would have a ton more time to prep. Right now I do most of my prep in the wintertime when it gets too cold and too much snow to do much building. Plus, I don't mind hoarding these kinds of fossils.

garyc Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Kind of ironic that getting them from a guy who found them in the 50's or 60's makes them seem old........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hey DLB, with these most likely the last ones I will ever get, it will cost someone a small fortune to pry one of these out of my hands. Of all the fossils, the lobsters are my most favorite of all time!!! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 That's what I was thinking. The years go by so quickly these days. I'm not sure I've seen a lobster from one of those crab sites.

That's because they don't come from the crab sites they are from a different state other than WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
