hunting rocks and bones

Well the river is finally down enough to find some good stuff. A friend of ours found a musk ox head and a buffalo head this week. So me and the kids and the neighbor went out to try our luck. We didn't have as good as luck as our friend but we still found some nice rocks and bones and a couple of new sandbars to return to. We forgot to take our cameras so we didn't get any pictures or videos at the river but I will take some at home and post them later. My other friend Phil on the hill went to Colorado and brought back some nice rocks and petrified wood. Which of course he shared with us. I will show some pictures of them too. Well happy hunting everyone till next time.

garage sale rocks

Sorry it's been awhile everyone but I have been very busy since the hill come down on my house. But me and the kids finally took a break and went to a garage sale that had all kinds of different rocks and bones. We got some pretty cool stuff there I found a mask made out of a hip bone. I also found a big bag of crystals, a horn, a horse tooth, and a scrapping rock, and a bunch of others you will see some in my pictures. My daughter also made out like a bandit she has this one container full of sharks teeth and cats eyes. Plus she got a whole bunch of other stuff too.

hunting rocks in the cold

Who says you need warm weather to rock hunting. If you got friends like mine you can go rock hunting in any weather. Me and my daughter just load up and go visit our buddy on the hill and he loads us up every time. This time we got a lot of Montana agate, petrified wood, chunk of opal, moss agate, Brazilian agate, and various others. He gave us little rocks big chunks and slices of all sorts. So go ahead cold weather hit me with your best shot bring the snow you don't scare me I have my secret spot picked out. I've already been rock hunting 3 times this year once on the river twice at my friends house. Now if mother nature would just straighten up I could go find me some morel mushrooms. Later everyone will have pictures soon.

Some new rocks

Went to visit my friend on the hill the other day and you guessed it he loaded me down with more rocks. He also invited me to go along with him and his rock hunting buddy one of these days. Then he gave me a vibrator for sliced rocks but I need to find a motor for it. Then he showed me how his rock slicer operates. I will put up some pictures of my new rocks on here and on my yahoo group riverrockhounds. My first batch of rocks is going in the tumbler now. I decided to start with my petrified wood. I love my new tumbler it's so quiet compared to the last one. They are on day three of the first cycle. So I will have pictures of them too here in a few days.

first batch of the year

Here's a couple pictures of the rocks I found on my first spring outing and I wasn't really looking.
