lcordova Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Couple weeks ago I was able to find a day off to go and look for some dead things...:) Denton is 5 hrs away from Houston but I wanted to go there and explore the surrounding areas, left Houston early, arrive at 11am and spent until 6pm when the sun decided it was enough for me...and then back to Houston. I arrived at midnight happy and tired. A Brown / Reddish Ammo and what I believe is a FAT Nautilus where the best finds of the day. I thought the nautilus was way bigger than the Ammo but both are exactly 8 inches in diameter, however the Nautilus has easily twice the mass. Three in situ pics are shown. I was able to work for 4-5 hrs at HGMS on the Ammo and I show how it looks now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCFL Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Awesome! I'm building out a farm for a client in Denton this April and will be there for a few weeks... definitely need to do some hunting while I'm out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcordova Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 If you are building a farm.... and you need to dig something, that should give you enough rocks to lookk for. Also if the farm has a nearby creek, then that will be groovy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
