Pretty nice out last Sunday, so I hit the creek and found a couple of things. By far the biggest piece of petrified wood that I've found anywhere.

Found this a little while later. All beat to hell, but I was glad to find it.

I was unaware that Georgia had geologic formations that contained petrified wood. Cool find. It is equally cool find to see a pontilled medicine rolling along in the bottom of a creek or sticking out the side of the bank. Great day indeed. Scott

The Flint River in GA is littered with petrified wood. Found a ton on the banks when the water was down. Pieces looked like deer antlers...it was crazy! Anyone in GA want to dig or hunt?
