Too bad they are not free,lol

true, a lot of them were brought in by Mom filling up the trunk of her car for $5 a load, plus one time they had someone drop a full dump truck load in the ditch out front and then they moved them in to where they wanted them... and then the many tons of crushed rinsed limestone that was brought and unloaded at the end of the driveway which then got moved to where they wanted it. alas to say i moved many tons if it myself... and then also many of the rocks have been moved more than once...

i really wish they'd have picked lighter hobbies (Mom also made stepping stones out of cement)...

Back at home, anyone can go to any river and load as many buckets as they want. Here I might end up in jail for stealing, still can run for president even with a felony, 😆 🤣
Maybe a bad joke. Not intentionally so don't kill me.

there is a limit in MI about how many lbs of beach stones you are allowed to take but i can't recall if it is per day or per year...

Here and Oregon are 25 pounds a day or one piece. 250 pounds a year. Personally use only and no permit needed. Rockhounding is popular and there used to be issues with people basically commercially mining some areas and damaging streams.

Derelict shells are 30 pounds a day. Permit required. It's covered by the seaweed and shellfish license. Kids picking up a few shells isn't what they are watching for.

I may have hoarder hobbies for collecting things. At least it's not a trunk full of rocks in the mountains like Mom would do.

yes, pretty much same here. they just don't want people clearing out the beaches or streams.

this house has a large central stone work fireplace chimney and also the front wall by the kitchen (which faces west) is also built from the same stones. they came from all over the country. a geologist would be very confused trying to figure out how these walls came to be if there weren't trucks and people who drove thousands of miles.

we got one of those impromptu fixer upper kits (someone ran over a wild turkey in the road out front of our place) and while i picked up the parts off the road and buried it that day Mom went out the next day and picked up the feathers that were all over the side of the road.

we'd need a put it back together by numbered feather diagram...

what a stinky mess.
