Psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich declared the existence of a universal healing and revitalizing force, called "orgone", and created devices (such as the booth in this photo) to capture and administer it. He was fined and eventually jailed in 1957, known there by some as "flying saucer guy" and the "Sex Box Man".

It's been a while since I posted some creek finds! A LOT of really neat little treasures have washed up recently. Here are a few of them!

On this plate of creek finds we have 5 and 1/2 cow teeth, a goat or sheep tooth, opossum tooth, rabbit tooth, an old button, probably my favorite brachiopod fossil I've ever found (it's solid white quartz!!), some really exceptional crinoid fossils, first gastropod fossil I've ever found down there, loads of other rad fossils, some tumbled pieces of soda bottles from the late 1800s or very early 1900s, a piece of an old crock butter churn, lots of other neat tumbled glass and pottery pieces, some nice quartz crystals, a 25 year old plastic toy from Burger King lol, and maybe my favorite piece on the plate—a bisque porcelain duck head from an old figurine.

Amidst all of these awesome treasures there is also a special secret find—

It's another nice little chunk of creek-tumbled uranium glass! Looks like part of an old candy dish.
