bigtiller, someone stole some big rocks like that from you? Wow.

The great big ones they left but there were about a dozen that were bigger than a basketball that they got.

Where we are in upstate NY, there are 3 large gravel and/or rock quarries within spitting distance of home, and on our land, no matter where we dig, we find an unpredictable mixture of sandstone, granite, shale, and obviously glaciated rocks of all sizes from pebbles to small truck sized.

Since our pond excavation last year, [those mini-ex/trackhoes really ARE as fun to operate as everybody says] we have extended an open invitation to any and all friends and family near and distant to come and take any rocks they want for thier own landscaping purposes.

So far, the farthest [?furthest] our rocks have migrated is Bradenton Florida, as my M-I-L's S-I-L took some to break up the monotony of the flat landscape at their winter home there.

While we have plans to use some of the [smaller] big ones to edge our pond, and some of the flatter ones as pavers for walkways and paths, we have no where near as many places to use them as we have rocks....

I have a buddy that pays for his Colorado vacation by bring home free BIG rocks on his flatbed simi truck/trailer. He has a business selling BIG rocks.

And I was glad to learn that my pallet forks fit over the tooth bar nicely.

The thaw is upon us! I might even start digging this weekend.
What brand/model pallet forks?

Dang! I wish I had rocks like that to gather. My property is mostly a sand bar devoid of rocks. I like rocks, they add character to the land. Landscaping, places to sit, mountain biking obstacles, etc.

Ha! Around here, we grow rocks :( Of course, they aren't nice shaped like those in the photo.

There is no joy in the sound of the bushhog trying to shred rocks in the pasture though :(
