You take what you get

You can't find beautiful things every time.

So you have to have an open heart and find some love for the ugly and mundane.

A short walk in the creek yesterday yielded a couple these plain (but perfectly lovable) specimens.



These pieces are heavily calcified obsidian.

They were found in the Napa County, Ca.

Finally, there is this hairy doughnut....

Artifact or nature?

[tomf]

One side looks drilled, the other less so.

Inclined to call it 'just a rock' but wanted opinions.

Could make a fire starter out of that .

[Tam]

Can’t remember the name but someone will when the water just drips on the rock .

Nice Obsidian! I'd be proud of that haul.

[Hoss]

nice haul I am thinking natural on the perforated donut stone. I would definetly have brought it home too. LOL

Hey those are all good study pieces ...not a bad day

Beautiful flake blade and the holey rock looks neat not sure if it’s a used piece or not but it’s a keeper. I’ve never really found anything drilled but looks like it could make for a nice net weight
