Before I left for Deming 2 weeks ago I decided to cut the largest of the over 200 pounds of Baker Ranch Thundereggs I have. It turned out pretty good, it was over 12 inches in diameter and the cavities were over 3.5 inches deep. now to get it ready for the Vib-Lap, wish I could take better pictures!

How long did it take you to collect 200 pounds?
Beautiful specimen, thanks for sharing!

Actually it did not take long at all to load the 4 buckets as I was purchasing them from an old collection. There may be more than 200 lbs as we found more on a subsequent visit buried under some Mexican Coconut Geodes. Ended up buying the coconuts also, about 5 gal worth.
If I can get the alignment problem solved on my big saw, I will be cutting more. The carriage is not traveling quite parallel to the Blade. Not too noticeable with smaller rocks, anything over a 5 inch cut is a problem.
