Never bothered with a bucket; just stuffed 'em in his pockets as he walked the beach. When you came to visit us, you really couldn't avoid them. Some were polished, others were in a backyard pool, but most were unpolished in the basement family room or on the patio. When Dad died, a family friend asked for one of the stones to remember him by. He keeps it in a prominent place in his photo studio. I like that, of course. When we sold the house after Mom died, we kept a few apiece but most went to the new owners. Hope they appreciate them. joel Belated response:

I've been collecting them for years on my annual vacation, always looking for the "perfect petoskey" - but do I really need to keep all of them? I'm going to seriously consider taking some with me next week and donating them back to the Lake. That begs the question, how many petoskey stones are enough?
