Hope among the hundreds, if not thousands, of strange UDO's (unidentified dug objects) floating around every detectorist's house. Maybe one day OUR stuff will be in the Smithsonian, like this fella's. I can certainly imagine a Ron(CA) collection. Or, maybe even a Ohio Dirt Fisher wing within a prestigious museum.

I had one, from the bedrock dig for the drainage at the soccer fields. I was pretty sure it was Pennsylvanian era. Tree bark, which is pretty common. I had it kicking around here for the last year but my old lady was bitching about all the crap I'm keeping and I hope I didn't throw it out. If I find it among the myriad of stuff I have reorganized I'll post it.

Cool story, some of those are really very interesting to find.
Our club members went rock fossil hunting last year. They had a blast trugding around the wet steam.
This year in April there is a gem and fossil show that our club will set up a booth at with a make shift kid fun hunt. It's a three day event with plenty to see or purchase.
That is so cool. I like it when the one the family thinks is a little off turns out to be the right. To Bad his wife wasn't alive to see it.
Pretty neat article!!
Thanks
