Hey Doug, here are a ton of pics of some of my rocks I've picked up in the field over the years you were wanting to see. The pics arent the best so you have to look really close to see the aggots & petrafied wood. I'll take some pics of the ones in the house soon, they are alot better.

I'll post more in a few minutes

The red stone in lower left here.Is that stone translucient?If so that looks like a real nice carnealian,

this looks like agate in the middle and the opaque red one on the right looks fantastic

Here is some stuff I collected in the field over the years from several states

Cool stuff guys. I used to collect rocks myself as a youngster but stopped for some reason. I think I would have to pocket most of those if I found them in the field too. Hey Doug, did you find that pipe near that green leafy field you found? LOL!

Ya never know what ya might find

Doug L

Did ya find it growing when you were out herpin'??

Probably grew from a "roach" you guys threw down several months before..LOL!

HAHAHAHA!!........

Heck, you guys didn't even need to bring any snake bags along, you could just put any snakes caught in their own little individual plastic zip-lock, and the weed could act as a nice fluffy substrate..LOL!

Was your radiator grill made out of giant "thai sticks" too?..LOL!

Thanks,

Hey Dan & Doug....I can't believe in all those photos not one shot of a milksnake, or even any snake. Whats up w/ that?
Next your going to start talking about spelunking, or butterflies. GAWL!

Rocks are for snakes to hide under, not for lookin at, idiots.

Here is a rock. I know you love it.

Here is whats under it.

You can thank me now for keeping you both on task. And I hope this thread gets pulled for lack of snakes.

Doug, Doug, Doug, A little fish/cigar/and snake musk drives the "LADIES" crazy. I call it "whiff of delight."

I mean come on, I call that a good day if I have all three of those smells on me after a day in the field or working.

Here is Cole working on his Whiff of Delight.

Peace out rockhound.

My plan was to clean cages this morning but after seeing your post I now want to go out and smoke a stogie Dell.
