Tried and true! I also add a jar because they make me jump, I can't help it lol. I have had big orb spiders crawl on me in the woods while climbing in the US and we have large spiders here incl. the giant English house spider here. They are both the size of hands. Freak me the fuck out haha.

They keep the bad stuff out, I figure. I try to put them in my plant pots if I find them around.

You can find pyrite fossils in Pennsylvania as well, surprisingly.

Me too, they're so pretty. They basically fall out of the wall in Dorset.

You can see what happens when the wood gets exposed on the little black one. The big guy is clay.

One that's mostly polished up:

I am saving these for teaching tools. They were collected with help from a good friend of mine that does palaeontology. My research is only Holocene lol.
