Bill...well I had the best intentions on reading the blog you mentioned, but when I was going down thru the names....I saw yours and had to check it out. I enjoyed it immensely and could relate to everything you said.... particularly the part about having so many rocks around the house and about the black plastic...it drives me crazzzzy too.
I am a rockhound by heart, hubby would tell ya I've got rocks in my head.. but this is not true. When we go looking for arrowheads, there are many times if a piece is covered with mud... I will just throw it in my bag and then when I get home... I dump them in one of my flower beds or around our pool to let the rain wash them off.
One day after a brief rain shower, I was working in my flowers and glanced down and saw a broken arrowhead and then another and another. So don't you know I worked all day gathering them all back up in 5 gal. buckets until I could find the time to go thru them properly.
You would not believe how many nice points I found mixed in with my rocks...several were unbroken ones and I even found a geniune indian bead (not like the ones I posted before). LOL
Just wanted to let you know you made my day with your blog.
