Ok everybody.. gather round!

IF.. and I say IF this ole boy actually sells these rocks and gets any money for them.. here is what we should do.
We will all get a cooler of beer...( and coffee for Mama Wilma) some chips, cheese and salsa..
( isn't that what any rednecks need for an outing?)
and jump in some trucks..and by golly we are going to go "rock gathering!
Fill those pick-up beds clear up.. sell them and we will split the profits.
What do ya say?!

That is a BIG IF considering the auction ends in (2 days 15 hours) and he has received zero bids.

Do you really need a Rock Hunt for an excuse for a party?

I checked the other items this man has for sale.  A few coins but mainly rocks from many different states.   Some look like road rock.  My kids, myself and grandkids have always enjoyed finding rocks with shells, bugs etc. in them.  Maybe since we are use to seeing these type of rocks, they are not unusal to us.  I don't think I would pay for them but have bought gold ore and pyrite in Colorado.

OH!  OH!  OH!  I know a guy that would love to have all the rocks hauled out of his Elk County pasture.  Said he used to have to do it as a kid for punishment.

Folks, there are ranchers and others in the greater Elk County area being paid fairly well for the rocks that are just laying around in their pastures.  The larger the rock and the more fossils visible the higher the price.  These rocks are going to landscapers, nurserys, and home centers in Wichita, Kansas City and Tulsa.  Some have even made it down here to NW Arkansas.  The big ones are in high demand as "centerpieces" in high end, high maintenance landscapes.  But don't think you're going to go out and start quarrying for this market - the rocks have to be well weathered and without any tooling marks.
