Karl & Jenna's Museum 2007

You can no longer remove artifacts from Florida rivers, so you have to go elsewhere now.
But you can remove fossils with a fossil permit from the state.

Finished Glass top Fossil table, solid oak. To order one, email to alert1@cyberstreet.com

100107: All done with our new den-museum

091707: Almost done with wall

2007: Rock wall on porch with a layer of fossils embedded in middle.

092607: Look what your glorious US Postal Service did to our Nebraska fossils
And it was insured, but they would not cover one dime!

100307: Some of the last points found in wash area of sand pit, wash was running thru the middle of old habitation site
and the points were just laying right there to be picked up after each days pumping.
We pulled a rake through the loose sand and "clink"- an arrowhead!
Then the pit reorganized the layout and operations which stopped the great artifact hunting...........
