Rock'in the Point
Oh those magical Christmas mornings, the special moment
When you can look into a child’s face and see the happiness a special gift brings. It is too bad that this moment is only shared once a year across the globe. Once a year only if your not part of the East Coast Fossil Club! You see folks, Me and Christina were able to see the expression on the face of young Dewayne Varnam when he pulled out a couple of huge “Kellums” Noids from his bag. “These are so gosh darn nice! I can’t believe I was able to find these so close together.” He was heard to remark. He went on to state; “Here and Castle Hayne, that’s the only two places on earth you can find these, and when this place is gone can you imagine the value these will have!?”
I can tell you what folks, I’m not a noid guy but those sure looked good in Dewayne’s hands, about as big as a baseball those Noids were. That’s all I needed to stop looking for the elusive Ricky, I took off one way and Christina the other, while Dewayne’s day was now to be completed at a more leisurely pace.
I am happy to report that I too, found me a couple of dem dere Kellum noids, even though they were quite a bit smaller, but at least I accomplished the mission of finding one. The day was near perfect with overcast skies and pleasant temperatures and many new folks showed up some who drove across several states to hunt the Point.
As usual the newbies were handed very little, while the old vets like Dewayne & Gerald “Real Tooth” scored some nice finds with ‘Real Tooth” scoring not one but two Rickys. However, one fella whose name I didn’t get; did score a rare sea urchin fossil, which flipped out Dewayne and fellow Noid nut “Grandpa” Tom who drove from Texas to hit the Point and PCS. “Grandpa was a walking encyclopedia of Noid News and facts! Hope you join the club Tom!
Thanks again to the folks at Martin Marietta for letting us have the opportunity to have fun in the sun!
