Peace river rat Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hello forum, new member who lives in Arcadia Fl. Went out today for a while on the peace, a very nice hemi, colorful. Two nice small (medicine?)bottles. Two, half, nice glyptodons. A decent mako, lots of odds n ends. Was getting ready to leave, the "one more scoop" bug, hit me. Glad it did, (I use a home, welded, 1/4 inch, steel, triangle rake/basket. I shake the scoop, up pops a vert of very good size. Weight of about 4 or 5 ounces, big around as a mountain bike tire, at least two inches tall. On a good note, the recent storm, at this point, only bought the river up about 3 or 4 inches, here, according to a marker under 70 bridge. Will be out again tomorrow. Treasure awaits ! Happy Hunting, yall ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-fossils Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Seems like you had a lot of fun! But as previously said, a good report needs pictures... So next time, don't forget your camera!

I cant wait, my house looks like I robbed a museum. Living two miles away from my hunting grounds is a blessing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
