    I met Mark Renz, an author and fossil guide, I was not a client. Nicest guy you could hope to meet, gave me 2 of his books. Fossiling in fl and Giants in the storm.

    A great guy.

    I recall a courtroom scene in True Grit, if you could get a still image from that.

    I've got a cousin who is a paleontologist specializing in cetaceans and their evolution. I'm guessing he's done quite a lot of fossil-hunting in his time. Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to dig for fossils on the ocean floors, considering how much of the world's surface they cover?

    Yes it would!

    I have a few whale vertebrae. I finally got out today, first time in a few days. Fl. is cold right now!

    I know (up north is actually cold)

    Do you ever come across non-fossil things in your digs? Bullets, coins, that sort of thing? I know in Great Britain it seems like every few years somebody else finds a cache of 2,000-year-old Roman coins in a barley field. So much of America was so sparsely populated until relatively recently, whereas in Europe there are places that have been pretty much continuously inhabited for millennia.

    A great observation, have found bullets and lots of spent copper jackets, found a copper jacket and 2 old 12 G brass today.

    I was given a big brass (boat motor shroud?) a few days ago.

    One never knows what is to be found.

    Archeology and paleontology, often overlap.

    Have found antique bottles and various artifacts/antiques. Large pieces of coal from the 19,00's phosphate mining era, random melted glass ( likely burned as trash in coal fired boilers)

    Some spent bullets, each new day may contain a surprise.

    I only have one signed book, Planet Drum by Mickey Hart (drummer for the Grateful Dead). He did a book signing in Kenmore Square the day after his Planet Drum project played in Boston...great guy, really nice.

    Although I also have Tim Dorsey's signature, but it's on a Serge/Coleman themed baseball cap, and I got it from his website, I've never met him, but I want to...
