Those are some nice chunks there!

We find petrified wood regularly at our property in Freestone county but have yet to dig one up that big. I have a few that are about 3' long. Also know where erosion is exposing a few hopefuls, just haven't made the effort to see how much is there yet.

This is the coolest thing, I ever found...Trilobite...(550 million years old)
Went on a fossil hunt, with my Geology Prof. in college..
Up near Breckenridge.
Got out of the car, took about ten steps, reach down and picked it up, outta the sand.
My prof. went nuts.. I have done absolutely nothing to it.. It is exactly, as I found it...
What you see in the pic, is it's original shell. And it's compound eyes.. Extremely rare...
It's about the size of a big thumbnail..
OP. I know how you feel finding something really cool like that...
