Battery-Powered Tools for my Return to Lake Texoma, OK
Megalodoodle posted a topic in Collecting Gear
I’m planning my return trip to Lake Texoma and I was wondering if y’all had any suggestions for tools to bring. Preferably batter-powered (no generator) and powerful enough to excavate large ammonites from hard limestone. Explosives, battery acid, and hydrochloric acid are out of the question. I’d settle for gas-powered tools, but only as a last resort.- 16 replies

I was wondering if I could get some recommendations on how to cut open large fossil boulders? Its not as though I’ll be taking every fossil in the boulder, and I’ll be sure to leave material for other fossil hunters. The more outrageous the suggestion, the better. By the way, car battery acid is NOT an option in this case.

So I was wondering what gear you guys would recommend bringing to Mazonia. I know the brush is insanely thick, but I know very little beyond that. Oh, I also know digging isn’t allowed. Is it marshy in some areas? Do I need muck boots or waders (the kind fly fishermen use)? Is bug spray required? What is the best month to visit? Is the collecting better or worse after it rains? Should I bring sunscreen and bug spray? Any other tips for gear would be helpful in my never-ending quest for the elusive Tully Monster.

Hey everyone, I think this is the right place to post, but if not feel free to move it. I don’t go collecting too often, but when I do I’m often burdened by the bag I carry (such as...my 5 year old’s Dino skeleton school backpack ). I’m looking for recommendations for backpacks/rucksacks that are comfortable, weather resistant, durable, and won’t break the bank. I’m hoping this isn’t a unicorn description and such a thing actually exists on all levels. I’m open to any suggestions and recommendations. Thanks!
