Sounds fun. Definitely need a better paying job for a hobby racing.

I have a large chunk of petrified wood. It was put in a rock mound behind a goldfish pond in 1935. What do you do with something like that?

I'll bet that you will get a lot of really good answers to this question.

Bury fish heads? Wow memory kick start there. Except my fish heads were used for bait. Stationed in Ft. Walton 71-73 used to go to docks in Destin and ask for the fish heads from the catch of the day. Let them sit in the dyper pail over night and had the crab traps that unfolded when lowered to the bottom. Fish head tied on and some of the biggest blue crabs far bigger than restaurant or crab house purchases.

The larger arrowhead types that people find are actually super rare because the cultural significance and history of them have been pretty much forgotten. But those babies are usually buffalo and deer hide tanning process scrapers to get all the fat, sinew and muscle tissue removed, gardening pick/hoe tips or vegetable/meet chopping tools (and each have specific shapes as well). If you couldn’t tell, I flint knapp at a journeyman level, and am authorized with the TP&WD to instruct ‘classes’ and have made some very passable spearheads and scrapers. I just don’t photograph them lol.

What state and elevation was it found, do you know? And does it have circular bands, waves or bars and whorls that screams “I was a tree once!” when you look at it?
All the pet wood I find here has either turned to flint or jasper-ized. This area used to be an archipelago of tropical islands in the big middle of the North American plain inland saltwater sea a few hundred million years ago and is all palm wood!

I always wanted to invest in one of those, because in quartz you usually find pyrite and gold!
I am a freelance photographer and I am WISE in the ways of Photoshop. Picture of my latest that I did with Adobe on my phone. Nice to see another shutterbug.
