I never find anything cool like that. I wouldn't mind seeing a close up of the clam fossil thing in the 8th and 11th pics. Maybe with a ruler next to it to get an idea of the size. It looks like a couple that I have around here somewhere that I found when I was a little kid living in Ohio.  ~Mike _____________________________ I see dead bottles.............and they're all broken.

The one next to the quarter is actually the biggest one I've ever found...I also have a large rock I think is a geode but haven't broken it open and it has these little tube shaped things all over the outside of it....
