For a couple months i have been putting together parts and pieces for a sphere machine and i am getting close to finished so i was going to post some pictures as it is coming out rather nice , but i havent figured out loading pictures here so it isnt going to happen . If anyone has facebook and wants to see i have it posted there or if you message me an email address i will send them . it is made from aluminum and has variable speed motors

Keenan Camp is actually off of Alamo lake Road west of 93 . from 93 take signal road across to Alamo lake road turn south about 7 miles and go west on the powerline road .

Mineral Park is not open to collecting , nor is the area that is worked by Collboughs {spelling } turquoise mine . you may find a piece here and there in the washes after some of the floods which will be starting soon .

rather than using an angle grinder , look into using a variable speed grinder . i used one from Harbor freight and it works fine but i wouldnt get the digital one again as you have to rest the speed every time you start it
