Fun Finding Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I bet you will not believe me but I when to McDonald's to get an ice cream cone and when I was walking back to the car I looked in a rock bed that they had brought in for decoration. And I picked these three up. There are many more there and I don't know if I should go back for more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
