As I watched the Easter sunrise across the fresh snow covered landscape set against a clear sky that went out to the horizon, I was reminded as to the reasons I prospect. It isn’t always the focus on scientific method, observations, and experiments to make a valuable discovery but mostly it is about the journey. I find inspiration from those hearty souls that went out prospecting long before me that didn’t have the resources I enjoy today. I like to share my knowledge with others in an effort to make their prospecting successful. I also realize there needs to be a balance with the nature of things along with the desire to find riches and answer the long asked questions, some serious and some whimsical. For instance, I wonder sometimes why is it that a meteorite impact crater resembles a bird’s nest with eggs? Maybe that rabbit I encountered while hunting impact eggs was the Easter Bunny from my childhood.
Please take a moment to enjoy the beauty of these unique impact eggs. I hope you find what you’re looking for. HAPPY EASTER Egg Over Easy

Those are fantastic Johnny! Looking for Thundereggs on Easter is what we like to do and your idea of "egg hunting" is another great way!
Sounds like it was a great day! Thanks for sharing your adventure and pics with us.
