very cool points,when you say "real ones" are they artifacts that you find?

love that blue colored rock and that caramel colored rock,but that blue is something else,very nice

the blue or any color is from the iron in the clay that surrounds the rocks. Browns fire to a red, yellows fire to a orange etc.etc.Yes the real ones are artifacts, Newnans, hillsboroughs, marions, bolens , simpson and other stuff from hillsborough county

 Nice points Jeff, I'll get some pictures up tomorrow of my pots Claude made. A tip from an old digger, Cheap, plastic, rainpants. No wet dirt stuck to your pants when you walk out.

     Nice Jeff.  Glad the kids get paid for helping.  And another tip......don't take pictures of baby water lizards being held......at least don't put them on the internet......yep the cheap plastic rain pants, from dollar stores, will do the trick.  Of course the the shovel, is kinda a give away, but if you stuck a roll of TP on the end ......that would be your excuse......of course the bulging pockets of points might be suspicious......   Nice cabochons.
