Dean Ruocco Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I just wanted to say if anyone goes to DSR in the near future and finds a hammer(a flat head geology hammer if that makes sense), it is most likely mine. I have had the hammer since I was 5-6 and it was a gift from my grandpa. Please message me if you find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Very sad to hear this, I know how much my hammer means to me. Good luck, Dean. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadrosauridae Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Thats terrible! I hope you get it back. I know what you must feel, I've had my geology hammer about 40 years. I bought it at a rock shop on a vacation in Colorado. I'd be sick if I left it in the field. 1 "There is no shortage of fossils.

Pagurus Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I hope someone sees the APB (amateur paleontologists bulletin) on your missing hammer and finds it soon. I'm still annoyed at myself for several gifts I've lost over the years. I'm sure it happens to all of us though. Luckily I am still happy to have the rock hammer my dad gave me more than sixty years ago. Watches and rings are another story though. Good luck. I'll bet that many of the fossil-hunters at DSR visit our forum so there's hope that someone will be able to help you. I'm glad you posted it here. 1 1 Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 If I could of gone and looked for it I would have, but I was too busy this weekend. I will be heading there leading a field trip for my club on May 7th. I don't know if it will still be there by then. I once left behind a hammer that I got as a birthday gift at DSR a couple years ago and member @Al Tahan found it and returned it to me. So i know how it feels. 2 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Tahan Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 @Darktooth that was quite the stroke of luck when I found your hammer. I will also be at DSR may 7th with my cousin and her young girls who want to fossil collect! The kids caught the fossil bug lol. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be members from the Syracuse club as well as members from a Pennsylvania club present. Should be a good time. 1 1 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Darktooth Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hello Dean I am sorry to have to say this, but nobody saw your hammer on the 7th. There were about 20 of us and every inch of the site was covered. I forgot to post this when I got back home from the hunt. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.
