I went out to dig up all the rocks that have been pushing their way through the ozark soil.? Our driveway in the back of the house is like river rock.? I was walking past and out of the corner of my eye I saw something small and swirly.? I took two steps back and searched the area I thought I saw it, and there it was.? I would do that routine all the time when I was a kid and I would -constantly- find 4-leaf clovers (kind of annoying after awhile).? Soooo....yeah.? :)

((New pic in another post down there!))

You have a good eye, Snee. It kinda looks like bone to me, too.

I used to find 4 leaf clovers all the time when I was a kid, too. I even found 5, 6, and, yes, a 7 leaf clover one time. I think that trait is what makes us treasure hunters. Alway looking for treasures.

The rock itself is an inch longways. I scanned the back of it so you can see. Pretty sure its a snail.
