So move them to 5 o'clock and let the rest of us dream.

I will be heading to fanning springs Florida in a couple weeks has anyone had success finding agatized coral on the beaches around the mouth of the swaunee river or anywhere in that area ? Would like to find a couple pieces for cabbing. Hey cowboy, there is agatized coral pretty much everywhere in Florida. On your way to Fanning stop off first at White Springs and park at the springhouse next to city hall. Walk around the springhouse and if the water is low grab all of the coral that you want. I do. Often. Larger coral heads can weigh a great deal so let them dry in the sun a bit before carrying them up the steps to the parking lot. But watch out for mastodon fossils, shell fossils, and arrow heads. Ya can't pick up the indian artifacts, that is illegal.
Remember that the Withlacoochee river flows into the Suwannee about twenty-five miles later. Check out the 'Cooch coral on eBay along with Tampa Bay coral. It's all that.
The river at Fanning is so full of fossils that you will forget all about the corals; but they can be found there as well. Don't even get me started on Holiday Beach.
Best of luck.

#18 is also my favorite, James! The reds, yellows and other colorful ones are nice, too, but something to be said for fossils. Loving the veritable zoo (botanical garden?) of fossilized creations. They have just always struck a chord with me.
Followed closely by #9, the sagenite. I must like the sharp angles and contrast that catch my eye.
Great tumble, swell job on those, Jeremy. Man, you sure learned how to do that quickly!
