my wife's mother lives in Topsail and unfortunately I do feel obligated to drive the 5+ hours with her just to be bored out of my skull. While there's plenty of quartz pebbles on the beach, I have alot of those already. I don't know the area except the beach so..... I'd even go to a pay site depending on how far etc, any info would be greatly appreciated as well as sympathy and well wishes

There's some fossil shark teeth on North Topsail, even some of the public access spots, at low tide. Didn't find anything spectacular, but I just love those things. Catch the Natural History museum in Wilmington if you can... they have a fossilized ground sloth that was excavated locally (well, OK, its a replica of the one found locally.)
Have you tumbled any of the quartz pebbles? I am thinking of putting a batch through my vibe when I get it set up. (Which means I now how three different sets of material to tumble without even looking)

I've gotten a polish on some of them by hand (automotive sand paper) so I think they will shine up very nicely.
