New Members Monica M. Posted November 8, 2018 New Members Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hello to all, I just ran across this site, look forward to chatting with others on finding, preserving pieces of our history. I've been collecting fossils from my local areas for over five years, and have donated many of my finds to our coal mining museum in our little town. We grew up playing on the slag piles of strip mines and deep mines and use to throw them rocks all over, little did we know what was inside those precious gems were fossils. I find numerous types of fauna and floral specimens and normally I give them to others to put in museums or historic places...Truly enjoy collecting fossils and our area is rich in these gems... I'm amazed every time I open up an fossil and be the first set of eyes on the amazing find. My bucket list is a Tully monster and someday will find one... So happy there are others that thrive on finding fossils and not just rocks...Thank you.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
