The Bone Island Honey Hole : Fossil Hunting on Florida’s Peace River

Am resteeming this. I don't know if that will help the payout, but it is a delightful and informative post. I like your descriptions. The pictures are wonderful. I'm impressed by the fact that you tried to return the site to its pristine state, and that floodwaters will restock the area with more fossils.
One sentence did puzzle me:

This area has also been inhabited by primitive humans for the last 13,000 years

Not sure what you meant by that.

I'm following so I can catch your future posts. Great job.

Yes, i agree totally with you @agmore - it is a great post!!!! I resteem it for our german community. Thank you!

War eine gute Idee. Ich hätte den Beitrag sonst nicht gesehen. 😎

Oh wie schön! Danke dir, das freut mich. So schade - solch informativer interessanter Artikel darf gern gesehen werden!

My college German helps me here. So nice to read your words. Thanks for supporting good work!

Oh - so you can practise it a bit - like i am with my english hehe. I just asked myself why do @agmore follow me - i don't write much in English???? Your welcome - perhaps i will make some more english posts now ;-) Thanks for your showing me this post - otherwise i won't be able to find it. You are my "guide" hihi. Best regards Kadna

You're braver than I am. Many hours I spent translating German in college. Something about the structure of the language was very engaging. Getting it just right in English, not just a literal translation but the sense of a passage, became a sort of hobby. But then, I like languages. Also studied a great deal of Spanish, which I like more for the sound than the structure. The structure of Spanish is a little frustrating for me. My skills in both languages are rusty, but I still derive great pleasure from them. Nice to reach across the continents and meet you, in German or English :)

Yessss - therefore i appreciate steemit! "Meeting" people from other countries and getting informations about things otherwise i couldn't reach. Thank you so much for our small conversation ;-) My english is - i think - a little bit old fashioned, because it is 40 years behind that i learned English at school - and not many opportunities to talk... And i like to play with words - but that is diddicult in an other language ;-) So, thank you very much - have a nice day!

Thank you!

Thanks Kadna! :)

Hi @agmore - thanks for the kind words. Florida has been inhabited by various indigenous tribes for the last 13,000 years (approx.). So it's not unusual to find projectile points, tools, pottery, and other artifacts. Some are more recent from modern Indians (like the Seminole tribe in the 1800's), or they can be much older (thousands of years). :)

Thanks for the response. I was puzzled....
