Yessir...The Subdivision is now Westyn Bay....I had a ridiculous Dig site where a Creek opened up into Lake Apopka. It was once Orange Groves, but after the freezes in the late 70s...The State gave Agricultural Tax breaks to the Grove owners if they planted Rows of Pine trees.

@SpikeUM @JD08 @TheOriginalCane @Rickd @OriginalCanesCanesCanes @RVACane ..... This is part of a Horde of Chevron Glass Beads that I found recently, at a Dig site in Hernando Cnty. They originated in Italy...but then migrated to Spain and Africa. The Spanish brought them to America (Florida)...

His collection is staggering

@RVACane @Rickd @SpikeUM @JD08 @TheOriginalCane ... This case is one of many of a friend. Every single Projectile Point are personal finds. He situated it to resemble an Indian head. Unbelievably ridiculous.

Yes, Indians would take large pieces of either Chert (Flint) and large pieces (Geodes) of Agatized Coral, and bury them in underground hearths (similar to what Hawaiian's do with Pork)...the reasoning was, that by doing this it made it easy for them to work the material into points. At the same...

@RVACane @SpikeUM @Rickd @OriginalCanesCanesCanes @JD08 @TheOriginalCane .... Little story about these 2 Gems. The first (and smaller) Coral point was found in Polk County, on a High ground spot in Sugar White sand at a depth of 2ft. When I found this spot in 2005, I noticed waste flakes...

Coral Snakes can strike, but their fangs are retracted...and they sort of have to chew, but their Toxin is like a Cobras. HIGHLY venomous.

I've seen 6ft to 7ft Eastern Diamondbacks on a weekly basis back in the day. Largest poisonous snake in North America. Coral Snakes alot as well. And they're the most poisonous snake in America.
