Mostley what I found was petrified wood. most of its, either been replaced by agate or jasper. shocked bedrock from meteor crater, and two old? coke bottles. I think there from the 1970's :wink:

Cool - I'm envious!

Petrified wood is my favorite, I'm planning some trips for it for when it cools down.

I think I've got you beat though - I found a Pepsi can from the 1950's once, it's amazing how long stuff lasts out there...

Thanks. yeah, I was out on the navajo indian reservation, went to grand falls etc.

I'm suprised about how well that glass can actually last out there, because i would think people would want to smash it.

Or shoot it! I can't remember I found an intact bottle out there - some people dig up old outhouses to collect them(!)

Thanks cockney.

I know a guy online who collects rubberband balls, so really anyone can get away with collecting anything. Lol.
once my coke bottles soak over night, i think i'll put them in my kitchen window at home.

We wanted to stay out there longer but the I think we were attracting too much attention with our presence. people act like you cant even go out in the desert anymore to pick anything up and its more than a little annoying

I mean its like ffs, there's rocks everywhere out here so why get all coper on our asses

:roll:
