Saturday 25 June was my second day fossicking at Seadown Beach, Kakanui. The day was warmer, the sky was cloudy. I made two trips to the beach again, spending 90 minutes there in the morning and one hour in the afternoon, either side of high tide. Found some interesting fossil seafloor stones today. These are too soft to tumble polish the same way as for other stones like jasper and quartzite – I often just tumble them in 400 or 600 grit – this leaves them very smooth.
I also found some more jaspers and quartzites.
Tomorrow I continue my drive south.
