I did some basement treasure hunting today, and look what I found in a long forgotten box. All 1lb. 14 ounces of it. Think I'll do more digging tomorrow. Don

Gonna use a super thin blade on this stuff, so I don't waste any more than I have to.

I've cabbed it without backing or cap, but it's touchy stuff to work with.

This is old stock stuff that I got at an estate sale in the early 90's.

;D ;D ;D My wife would probably kill me if I sold it. She saw it when I brought it up from the basement, and wants jewelry.

You'd have more fun digging in my shed, but it's not heated and the basement is.

The pic doesn't do it justice. I've got to get a light box and proper lighting. The colors are much nicer than they show here.
