Fossil Hunting

i have always be fascinated  by fossils and have researched not through books or computers (ok, maybe a little), but with my own eyes, thus, I am now happy to share this fun activity with everyone (note, this is my first instructable, so cut me some slack!)

Step 1 Materials

the fallowing materials are needed:

1. Hands (you should have two)
2.Eyes (you should have two of these too)
3. Pockets ( these are definitely needed if you are going to search for a couple hours)
4.Small amount of knowledge about fossils
5. (optional) large container for a real hotspot!

At the camp i go to it rained for like a week. After the rain i went to the lake shore where i found around 10 arrow heads.(yes i know they're not really fossils but they're still cool)

i never have found an arrow head before, guess I live in the wrong part of Michigan :)
