[QUOTE="Allen, post: 291839, member: 389"] As a kid growing up picking rocks in some of the rockiest fields I've ever seen, I've found a little bit of everything...except truly valuable things. Lots of fossils, mostly leaves but a few others like shell fish, etc. Not really sure that is what led me to get a degree in Geology, but it was fun as a kid to smash fossils to see what was in them. Basically, nothing. I've also found a fair number of arrowheads and other stone tools (hammers and scrapers). Not sure where any of them are nowadays but am pretty sure if I wanted to I could go back for more. As is I like to think I have some of the largest rock collections in the state, stepdad just refers to them as the rockpiles out in the field. Back in college you could always tell the bus full of geologists returning from field trips. The vans would lean to the left as people would put their collections on the side of the van away from the door to the back seats. I still enjoy looking at rocks even though 99.99999% are leaverite (leave 'er right where you found it), but some things like banded iron formation are pretty cool to look at. One of these days I'm going to build a birdhouse out of petrified wood. I have a few five gallon buckets full of the stuff that I think would make a really cool, something. [/QUOTE]
