Beauties! I always wonder when I see your finds from here, arethe mines open to the public or do you have special permission?

Happy hunting,

Thanks Roger,in fact i only keep the very best of my finds and exchange the others :)

WhodamanHD,if somebody ask my permission(it never happen)I would say the fossils rescue brigade :)

An excavator did part of the work,ynot,but you have to broke the stones if you want to find anything,many times there is nothing inside

Thanks JimB88,Peat Burns,fossilized6s,Monica,Jeffrey P,Tim and Don

Just wonderful!  I will have to pedal my bike much further now that the local mine dump has been leased to a hunting club.  How far are

you from Atlanta, again?
