Archaeology Tool/Field Kits?
Kaastious
Good Afternoon,
I am a new member here and I have recently gotten my gf into Archaeology and I wanted to surprise her with her own field/tool kit so we can go fossil hunting together.
Does anyone know anywhere where they sell such a kit or do I just need to hit up the hardware store....?
Cheers
Ryan

You might want to brush up on the laws before you head out. Fossil hunting is paleontology, not archaeology, and digging around in archaeological sites without a permit is not legal.

I see you are posting from Seattle. It is illegal to dig in an archaeological site in WA without a permit- whether private or public land. Therefore you would be limited to surface hunting on private land. I believe there are volunteer opportunities, the Oregon Archaeological Society does a lot of field work under someone elses permit.
I don't know what the law on fossils is here.

Fossils? Cultural Fossils? Check your own yard first.
Are you going to sell these "fossils?" Please, don't. Buy, first, a WAAS-enabled GPS unit. Then buy a digital camera. If you collect, carry clean ziploc-style polyethylene bags, a compass, a metric scale, perhaps some yellow electrical tape and some cut coat hanger sections for flags that can be used for photodocumentation, and measuring tape. Then, download record forms from your SHPO or relevant paleontological resources office.
Don't look for things - find places.
