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.

A quick look for rocks

Well spring fever finally got me yesterday me and the neighbor went out by the river to see what we could find. Me being the rock hound type that I am of course I brought some home. Nothing real fancy just some more rocks for my rock garden and a couple pieces of petrified wood it looks like a couple pieces of coal. then I found a couple of rocks that seem awfully heavy for their size not sure what they are. I will get pictures up soon to show you my finds. So get your gear all rounded up because rock season is here. good luck everyone see you later.

New Rocks and meteorites

I hope I labeled all of these right some I know are others I received from a friend and had to remember what they are.

Hurry up nice weather

Okay it's official i have got spring fever I have been buying a few little rocks on eBay even a piece of meteorite. Probably made bad choices being new at this but I'm going crazy I want to go rock hunting. When my rocks arrive I will put some pictures up of them. They should be showing up soon. Talk to you all soon.

Lovers bones found embracing

ROME -- An embrace that has lasted some 5,000 years will go on, if archaeologists are successful.
The bones of a couple are being gently scooped out of the earth on the outskirts of Mantua, Italy.
The pair are believed to be a man and a woman who died young. Archaeologists have hailed the find, saying that double burials from that period are rare and none have been found in such a touching pose.
The burial was unearthed during construction work. The site is 25 miles south of Verona, the setting for Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," and the discovery has fueled media speculation about prehistoric love.
