"I thought a thread about places to collect not in the guide books would be an interesting discussion. Most of my collecting sites are not on the tourist maps and are a lot less crowded and not as picked over. After prospecting for a while a person learns some tricks of the trade (so to speak). The first tip is to learn a little about your local geology. I not saying become a geologist but it makes a lot of sense to know if the rocks in your area a sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic. Fossils will not be found in lava,
Road cuts give a great lesson in what kind of rock is at that location. In fact road cuts can be get collecting sites but do not park on the shoulder or on an Interstate. Some states have regulations about collecting a road cut but most will allow collecting if you are not excavating. The most valuable site I ever find in Tennessee was a fresh road cut. Cuts are often temporary. The one in Tennessee was temporary because the road cut was resodded . But a large number of Sulerian fossils came from that site some are in a museum. I called the University of Alabama when I found the site because it was to important to keep all to myself. I donated a free standing crinoid attached to a brocapod to the University Museum. Add more tips and I will too.

"Alright, I went through them all. I tried to pick as many embarrassing photos of you all as I could. I'll be careful not to upload any of me! I put in a notice where the photos start from the oldest posts...don't edit that picture or it will move! Moving forward we should feature a photo every couple of weeks depending on the posts. i featured a lot of photos that could be included in one of the pages we are creating under "sueseki".

"Thanks, Tom, I'll add safety equipment next. Your input convinced me to modify my usual unequivocal support of rock whacking to 'not on agates'.

"Db that is one of the treust statements on here. This forum and the people on it are the best on the web. We enjoy and learn and laugh and grow with each other on a daily basis. We have no interest in ego or being better than. Almost everyone will go out of their way to help another. I have not found a single site any where else like this one. The creator said come to me as you are and I will accept you. That is what you find here too. Pretty cool ain't it. I think that he has his hand here also.

"Follow. But. Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this creek is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

But it's only a rabbit - a bunny rabbit
Only a rabbit but the teeth man and the bones
