WHOA ROCKERS, I HAVE A WINNER It has been 24 hours and I have a winner. This is kinda funny, I posted two of my very first wire wraps and a guess what, not a comments on the wire wraps. I think that everyone wanted the Montana agates, what a bunch of rockhounds. (I love this web site.) It was not a bus stop for grizzly bears. It does not mark anything or any place, and it is not a grave marker. I did not find any evidence of a fire being built on or around it. No wagon trails, mail boxes, and I don’t think it is an Indian prayer rocks. I did learn a word I did not know “cairn”, it is a pile of rocks, and the winner is, – Geo-Ing Crazy. “I'd guess a cairn also, but for sheepherders”. Think of someone out on the open range, with a horse, a dog, a herder’s wagon and nothing to do but watch sheep. I asked a lot of old ranchers what the sheepherders mounds were for and was there a purpose for them. I was told the old sheepherders would occupy their watching time, stacking rocks. The sheep would graze in an area for days, maybe weeks or months. Every one knows what happens when you count sheep, so they stacked rocks when they weren’t counting. (Ok, a little dry wooly humor.) I have seen round ones, tall ones, and square ones, some built with big rocks and little rocks. The mounds are in the middle of an open range, sometimes in the timber, sometimes in coulees and sometimes on ridges. No one could tell me if it marked something significant, except a person’s overwhelming boredom. This is one that over looks the Flint Creek Range Thank you all in advance Debby and Tom

The bowl is one piece and rubber gaskets keep it form leaking. It uses a lot less grit and takes 1/3 the time to get a great polish. I like the UV10. I have several rotating tumblers and they take the same amount of work to get in & out (or check) of as the Vib. Tom

We were in the back pasture this weekend cutting firewood for this winter. I went down stretch of a fence I have fixed for years and noticed something I had not thought of when I first became a member of RTH. I may have fibbed when I showed you pictures of my first wire wraps. I believe I have found my first wire wraps. These are still hanging around. Some times the creator of good art doesn’t notice his or her work until later. This is art that lasts and lasts. These are masterpieces. My critics up till now have all been cows and the told me MOOOOOOO. I guess this means good. I have a guess what this is, in this picture, (and not just a pile of rocks).Winner will get two pieces of MT agate. Thanks for looking Tom
