When you can’t go rock hunting

[Josie]

You go look for a shark’s tooth. Unfortunately, I only found one and I gave it to a young boy. But I did make a new friend. He followed me down the beach about a half mile. I asked him to please don’t fly off over my head when he decided to re-join his buddies 😁

No shells? Nice beach maybe look for points there to

[Josie]

Every broken seashell looked like a point, lol.

Nice beach but i was hunting points, no Deer hunters allowed there. Found a kirk with stem broke off and knife.

[Josie]

Hopefully deer season will go by quickly. I’ve got plenty of other things that need to be done so I guess I’ll concentrate on my to do list. That’s not near as much fun.

Nice day Josie!

I’m at a conference. I snuck out early. Didn’t really want to hear about block chain and cryptocurrency. Not today, anyway.
started thinking about finding a shark’s tooth and I’m not very good at it, lol.

Enjoy your beach

[SurfaceHunter]

I found quite a few when I was on that beach. Shark teeth no points. Should be a set of 5 waves look after the biggest hits and returns the first wave will be small last big teeth will be in the largest break. They are tiny

[Cecilia]

You gotta system!

[Cecilia]

“Broken” shells sometimes artifacts! You must look, Jo! Look for shells with beatup bases and/or nodules, holes in body whorl, part of outer lip missing; look for bare columella and columella still with heads; look for just outer whirls with/without lip!

O heck, Jo, just bring back every shell will fit in car, and we’ll figure out if they had jobs later!

Believe it or not I don’t have any Olivia shell beads...🤔 Hmmm, wonder how that happened

[Josie]

Only brought home one. I’ll send you a picture tomorrow!
