Probably 50 years ago our old bachelor neighbor who plowed gardens with a team and walking plow was plowing my parent's garden spot and turned up a petrified land snail about 18" long.

Like most kids, I had to investigate further and spent the whole summer digging out fossils, artifacts, big geodes, and various specimens from the garden. Never did figure out how so much could have been in one relative small area, unless they had been buried there by someone.

At that time I was taking everything I found over to the neighboring town, and putting them on consignment at a local antique shop. Thought I was in tall cotton to get $8.00 for a fossilized turtle shell that about 24" in diameter. Or $5.00 for a slab of petrified mud with dozens of fish skeleton imprints, or a Knife River flint spearpoint. Why I didn't keep some of that stuff...just a dumb kid I guess!
