Probably, one of my top hobbies is to collect historical items. That could mean petrified wood, fossils, arrowheads, coins, pieces and bits of history; just anything interesting. The Brazos River area; history says that San Felipe, Texas was founded in 1824, the town served as the capital of Stephen F. Austin's first colony and was the founding spot of the Texas Rangers.The oldest post office in Texas is located in San Felipe. I went to the Brazos River last week and I collected approximately 125 pieces of petrified wood along with some coral. I spent a hour and a half there at one sight and was rather productive on collecting rocks.
I am always looking for sites to go and search for artifacts. If anyone has land nearby, in the hill country, along a river, East Texas and would allow me to explore there property, please let me know.
