thair Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Since it is finally cooling off around here I went out to Clay Pit and looked for stuff while I was baby sitting my grandson. I show these pictures when ever someone wants me to keep their kids so I don't have to baby sit to often. Found several broken ones and two pretty good and complete ones although they are small. This was in about 2.5 hours of hunting and rolling rocks down the hill for my grandson. I also put a couple pictures of some of my collection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Good times for sure. "It's finally cooling off around here"?? I guess there is no downtime in Winter, that must be your collecting season. Up here it's been miserable for the past month and I can't see any collecting until Spring! (though I have collected in Dec/Jan before). What is the age of that stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thair Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Yes best time for me is from now thru about April. Not so hot and rattle snakes not as active. Thanks for the comments. My grandsons favorite toy is dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Ah, thanks. That is quite a lot of Paleozoic shark teeth. I was always digging in dirt banks/etc. when I was that age too, even on the school grounds where there was nothing really to be found! Takes me back..
