That is a great collection. The years you stated represented the frames? Is that how long you've been looking total? We have the same issue here in the Ozarks concerning size. There are some good cherts once you get into the very north part of Arkansas, but the stuff fractures too easily, still limiting size.

ApacheNDN---yes it represents 5 yrs worth . These are all from the Trinity Counties in E Tx.----San Jacinto , Polk , and Trinity Counties . I have a couple of trays from Centex , mostly from pay digs pre-2005 . I sold a big collection several yrs ago and got out of the buying business--- (too many scoundrels) and I wasn't smart enough to play with them . Thx for comment ! db

It's been said, but that's more than most people put together in a lifetime, Don. You feel guilty about not giving us close-ups. Anyway, great show!

Your welcome. I understand, most of my collection is personal found. I tried my hand at purchasing a few years ago. Wasn't a fan. It just didn't give me the same feelings of discovery that got me into this in the first place. Besides, unless you buy it from a person you saw pick it up, you never know. And I think the doubt detracts from everything.
