Axe Meet southern New England

The "rocks" I'm referring to are slag from the iron making process. Basically melted glass from the by products of the process that were dumped into the nearest river--Housatonic-- as waste. Also crushed when cool and used as roadbase. Like gravel.
Neither rocks nor minerals but a colorful inert industrial waste that my kids liked to pick up off the river bank. As adults they still have some nice specimens.
I doubt if it will be missed and I'm pretty sure no one but you cares about some kids picking up some colored glass.
Does this law also apply to people on the State Park beaches picking up sea glass or shells?
Perhaps you should form an environmental task force to look into this.

Perhaps you should lighten up ;-) Just telling you what I was told when I attempted to collect some myself years ago. I was also told by someone else that I could not metal detect on CAMA property, as it is leased from the State. You do whatever you wish.

I intend to.
I'll look for you and your rabbit next time I'm there.
