Yesterday at the farm we noticed the neighbor had plowed his field. We always get excited with the thought of finding some of our past. Joe and I love to search for buried treasure among the dirt and rocks. Yesterday we came up with a few really cool pieces.
This is a scraper used by the Indians of past. Of course when we found it it was covered with a layer of dirt. Once the dirt was removed, the crystal really showed up. Various other fossils were more obvious, making this a unique piece.
The other side of the scraper with more fossils easy to identify.
This is what Joe refers to as a blank (rough draft to an arrow head or tool). I picked it up knowing what it was, but having no idea the detail we would find. The fossils in this are really cool too! The shell in the middle right is amazing.
This is the flip side with several more shell fossils being obvious. We marvel at the amount of time it took to create such a rock. Layer upon layer of fossils fused together, amazing!
These are also pieces we found with the bottom right being the first piece of the day. What a rush to find such a clearly marked arrow head (just wish it had been whole). The others Joe found, noticing the difference in each of the stones.
Last fossil found. I love all the detail and size. It's hard to tell but this is about 1 1/2 inch at its thickest and measuring almost 3 inches in length.One must stop and realize how life was before to bring it all into perspective.

Treasures and memories, makes me think of the time King and I brought
almost a truck load of rocks from
south Texas, they are now in my Mary garden.
Frankie-I'm sure there are so many good memories there. It is wonderful to share something so simple with someone you love. Thank you for sharing with me! Of course, I'd love to see some pics of these rocks, they sound special.
