Ric Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 It sure looks egg-like. It would be interesting to hear what a paleontologist thinks about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 You can get Dick Tracey on this but 6 of these are examples that are part of the University of Minnesota’s archeological collection.

Fire1981 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 He sends me all sorts of cool stuff without breaking the law. The egg is an example. It was recovered on private property. He does work for the DOI after fires and catalogs everything he finds. He takes a picture and leaves it where he found it. 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Here is the thing Fire. If you and yours collect, you will find and keep what attracts you both to it. We always did it this way. The glass egg came long after the scale in this instance—it just fit when we found it and it was just one of those moments that for $2-$3 we agreed on where it should go. It has been on the counter top for so long—I cannot remember. It is just a cool thing within the memories of our collecting and fun times together, not worth a hill of beans—just cool stuff. (If I could just remember where it came from—my wife remembers this stuff—not me--- I am in charge of the more important stuff—such as finances and taking out the garbage---lol.---I do clean out the cat box---) Collect –On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Super cool, Rick - golly man, the ECHL Kelly Cup - sweet! What year was this? When I was young my father and I watched hockey together every opportunity we had, he was a huge fan. But I only ever played in pick-up games with friends, never anything organized. I had my first glass of beer watching hockey with my Dad - I was probably 15 and it was Carling's Black Label, which probably explains why I have never liked beer and haven't had one for at least a few decades. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a wonder to be young, outran a fire devil up a steep hill that day, me the crummy driver and a buddy of mine, a pretty close shave, something I'll never forget.
