Only the Rock Last Forever

This new work, Only the Rocks Last Forever, is an anthology of artifact adventures, site reports and essays on various aspects of artifact collecting. Each chapter in this book is a separate or "stand alone" piece, and a sequential flow between chapters is not intended. Indeed, the discerning reader may, on occasion, note some minor redundancies in several of the various chapters. I have attempted to keep this to a minimum, but in the interests of giving each chapter its full due, some duplication was unavoidable. This may well be my last "artifact adventure" book. I recently retired, and although I plan on spending a goodly portion of my time in pursuit of all things ancient, I find that I am getting much more interested in the "archaeology" of my collection, rather than merely the acquisition of artifacts. I have a lot to learn about archaeology and I think it will be some time before I'm ready to share my thoughts and ideas in writing with others. I will, however, pursue my writing career in other ways, and am presently working on several books, including a novel and a children's book.
