Dad had a screener with a little gasoline engine on it. He originally built it for Topaz hunting up around Mason. But you had to be close to your hunting site to use it as it was cumbersome and heavy.
Dad quit hunting all that stuff about the time I was really getting interested in it. Digging was work. We turned to fossils. Lots of em. Ranchers didn’t mind you hauling rocks off their property. And they were right on top of the ground. We did find some good stuff. We had an impressive collection of Pennsylvanian era Texas and Devonian era Oklahoma trilobites.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
