Rockhounding KY VERY PIC HEAVY !!!

[CrossfireBusiness]

Hello all! I wanted to share some pictures for you rockhounds of my trip to KY and surrounding states ..Enjoy !!!!
made a pit stop at mineral mound (not many minerals) but these shells were everywhere !!!

flint or shale?sandstone??

this frog was not scared of me at all he came right up to me like he wanted to eat me

a fossil that i left behind ...

The DR Marion Ky fluorite dig !!!! I only was there one day and spent maybe an hour digging only ... when i cleaned up my specimens later that night I realized i was more than happy and needed to see what other treasures KY had to offer . my larger sepcimens are soft n brittle and made it home onboard flight with very little breakage i toothbrushed them clean but think they are going to stay dirty ..We had a great time and met alot of wonderful members !!!! cant wait for the next trip







ferry to Illinois

heavy load?




stopped for some Ky geode"s Thanks to Steve for giving me the location (geode"s were everywhere)




these fossils can be found with a little bit of search

and then took a long trip up near McGee to search for the infamous Ky Agate ...
I know these arent amazing Ky agate like you see online but Iam happy ... they were pretty abundant .. only stayed about 45 mins due to being underprepared






my best little piece

Nice work Dude. It looks like you had a full trip planned out. Next time we meet I want to see that flourite dude. It looks real nice to me.

Glad you had a good time. I will be PMing you soon. Time for a New Street trip.

Nice finds. That's a very nice fluorite specimen. You did well on the geodes considering my directions were pretty lousy, putting it mildly.
