Howdy Diana, Go to members photographs section above and click on the how to post photos thread. You'll just get you a free photobucket account and then follow instructions on that thread. It's easy cause even I can do it *L*.....Mel

Thanks for the help on where to start. I don't have a computer at home. I use one at the community center where I live and I'm leery bout downloading my pics on a computer that everyone else uses. LOL I do have my pics on my email, is there a way I can send them from my email? I'm computer illiterate! Hahahahah! :help: Oh and does me being the 4,000th member win me a prize? Hahaha Just kidding! Thank you for welcoming me. I can't wait to show you all my stone I found I'm a proud mama on this one! ;D

Diana: Shouldn't matter what computer you use. You establish your account at photobucket and it's accessed via password. That should keep your pics reasonably secure.....Mel

Welcome aboard Diana. Boy, 1880 lbs. You don't do things in a small way, do you. I'd sure like to see the saw capable of cutting that monster.

Looks like some nice material. I know of someone with a big drag saw that could cut that, but it would mean hauling the rock to Washington. Looks like a jasp agate. A mixture of jasper and agate.

My friend and I hand dug it out took about 5 hours worth of digging with our hands and sticks we found.
