Hello all! I am new here but not to fossil hunting. I've been collecting off and on for ~25yrs. I started out as a young kid finding small ones on the beach. I finally made it to Aurora (been waiting since 2019 ) for their re-opening this past weekend (or 2, time flies lol). I have just recently started back into the hunt as a form of therapy from the anxiety of working at home. What better place than to be in nature and doing what you love eh? So far I've gathered no hunting in Robeson Co, not much west of I95, and GMR. I've spent countless hours along North Topsail and a few creeks that flow into the Cape Fear. As I have been watching youtube videos and scouring google for places near me, I found this neat place. So, now I'am just out looking for new friends and new spots/creeks to venture in. Last weekend the family and I went to Little River up near Goldsboro to sift for a couple hours. Not much luck except some memories and a few unique looking rocks. So, in all, I am Allen and I have a fossil addiction.

Just now getting into fossils with my 6 year old son. He is enthusiastic and excited, but finding I am surprised as to how much I am enjoying myself as well. I've always found fossils interesting but never really invested any time in learning more about them. Not many discoveries yet but still searching my area and looking online for information of locations in KY. Planning a trip to Tampa next week and hoping to check out Venice Beach or Peace River although I am reading that this is not a good time of the year for Peace River. Will try and upload a few pics of what we have found so far in a few days and i will have a few questions which sadly will have probably been asked before. Go easy on me.
