My focus of late is spear points/arrowheads and fossilized shark's teeth. I have one tooth and a few points and I watch the tide chart so I can be at the river when the tide is dropping. The nearly full moon, along with high winds is creating a muddy and violent shore today. I was on the neighbor's dock, watching the water hit the bulkhead when, as the water receded, an unbroken shark's tooth laid on top of the sand. Another wave came and bounced it around and it was dragged back into the water. If I could have made it down the steps in time, I would have went after it, even though it was high tide. I am unreasonably drawn to them, and am frustrated that it got away. These photos are of the gems I have so far. More are on the way because I scour the beach every day.

Hey Girl! Didn't realize you had a blog! Cool. Great sharks teeth and I love the Filet O Fish. Made me laugh.
Thank you Peg. You are amazingly kind. I didn't think it would cause such a response when I decided I couldn't handle the blog (or much of anything else). Right now I am looking for a place to live and waiting to see my doctor. I did draw the beginnings of a quilt yesterday so maybe this will all lead to something. I realized once I no longer had the garden or the house or the chickens or the dog that the weight lifted somewhat so maybe I really was overwhelmed.
I like your arrowheads and sharksteeth. Little treasures.
