Here is some of the rock garden I have been growing, lots of partials, questionable pieces and artifacts. Plus just neat stuff that comes off sites I hunt.
Lets see some other gardens or rock piles if you have one.

Well um, I have a guy who comes and hauls my rocks off regularly. He landscapes so he says lol. Sorry no pics.
 

By the garage door in the mint WP_20180512_001.webp Around the Eucalyptus plants WP_20180512_003.webp WP_20180512_002.webp And I'm breaking apart an old rock garden and making smaller ones around the Thyme in the back and Bergamot which doesn't look too good right now because it's in process WP_20180512_004-1.webp
 

T.C. firstly im not asking for an exact location.... But what type of area did you find that big mortel in? That is absolutley amazing!!!! Did you find in a cave or buy it or elsewhere? I would love to find something like that. You have a great collection!!!
 

Good looking stuff TC. What is the multi grooved piece in lower part of top pic.? This is in your in house things.

We're not quite sure. The bottom is smooth like a mano and there is a single groove on both sides as well as the two grooves on top. Your guess is as good as mine!

Ninety-nine percent of them were found around dried up lake beds. They are all personal finds. Thank you!

Definitely different ,haven,t seen anything quite like it.
 

I don't have enough anymore for a rock garden, but still have a half dozen pieces outside.

A few hammer stones, broken points, and pottery shards. The green speckled Celt would have been a nice one. Big circular chunk out of it. I don't think it is a modern break.
 

Out door collection. I just moved all this to take out a dead tree.

People are always digging around in there, and it helps me remember where potential wreck sites are and what might be there !!
 

Great looking rock gardens everyone. I guess we all do it. I finally got some pictures of what I have out around the house in my wife's flowers and around the fish pond. Didn't realize there was that much out there. lol Mostly Pitted Stones, Hammerstones, Mortars, and lots of broken Points and Fossils.

I know this is a lot of pictures but I guess I have a lot of this around here.
