I bought 176 5 gallon buckets full of semi precious stones literally tons . Collected mainly in the 50's & 60's from some places you can't go to anymore. here's a pic of the inside of my very large shed, and everything not in it yet.

Welcome smittys ! Thats the way to 'go all' in for sure. Great that your buckets are labeled. I bought a small portion of an estate and most of it was not labeled. In the second picture I love the bucket labeled "No Duds" That would be one of the first buckets to investigate LOL.
