Because the trip and the discovery is a big part of our passion

[David in Japan 1,564]

Hi,

because our passion is not only about rocks and is made at 50% by trips, discoveries, and people I will post here pictures of my hunting spots, japanese panorama, people, place which made my fossil hunting trips particular, memorable and enriched me as much as fossils do.

I hope you will enjoy this thread and that you will be able to have an insight of my Japan.

'Tis not all of fossil hunting to hunt fossils.

David, thanks for giving us a look at places not often seen outside your country.

Thanks for the tour! Wonderful scenery, what nice places to look for fossils,

Thank you but i think that tff members would be interested in pictures from your locations too. We have the chance to have a past time that bring us to places in the wild, that only few people can see.

Lets make our fellow hunters travel with us.

 

I will continue to post interesting picture.

I do the best that I can. Here is My most recent trip. 

But most of My digging is not for fossils as there are not any close to Me.

Here is a trip report on a local (for Me) dig.

Thanks again for the virtual trip to Your digging sites.
