    • Hello glad to be here . I’ve enjoyed collecting rocks and fossils since a kid . My biggest finds were cpl years ago on ex family’s land in a hole the was dug in nw North Dakota.bout 20
      Feet deep . I found two fossilized sea turtles believed to be over 60 million years old one still in shell with the bottom exposed to the bottom of turtle can see the shell leg and head,also fossilized dinosaur poop . And several other finds I’m not quite sure on .still have cpl pales full that need to be looked at more . Have over 30 fossils I have found here in north Dakota Not including the rocks and gems . Thank you for the invite I’m not expert by any means I’m always learning and wanting to know more .

    • Hi Nick! Thank you for the message. That’s incredible, it’s sounds like you have quite the collection! Keep up the great work and please stay in touch.
      Believe it or not the owner of our Museum Steve Etches built his collection as an amateur. You should check out his story here: https://www.theetchescollection.org/steves-story.
      I will continue to update our group page on a regular basis, but please check out and subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheEtchesCollection
