Very cool! Nice to have friends so close to each other to go hunting! I have worn out my family...they have had all the rocks, sand, and heat they can take! I have simply begun carrying protective weapons but hate always looking over my shoulder.
I have yet to find any "colorful" fossils but have found some fossils...
Posting so I do NOT get booted!

This was found just off yankeetown on the barrier islands. First island is way way picked over. Then again with all the trash campers "forgot"to take with them leads me to believe they took the echinoids and ran out of room for their trash.
These were found in dry sand on what would be considered florida scrub along a power line easement where many corals, crystallized coral, and shell fossils abound.
I have also done some metal detecting in this area that is used only by 4 wheelers...so.much.trash! Cans, wire, cans, wire, cans, huge oil drip pan, wire, cans...gave up. I have found old wheats lying on surface only. Dug a 1995 penny. Ha! So, needless to say I take my small shovel and dig sand looking for treasures left behind millions of years ago!
