Hello! My name is Tiffany Knight and I live in the Texas Hill Country. I bought Bill Franklin’s rough about 11 years ago. Bill owned a rockshop in Dallas, Tx back in the 60’s. When Bill passed away his daughter gave us first pick on a storage room full of his rough. When she opened the door it was the biggest mess! She said I just wish someone would buy the whole thing. I raised my hand and bought it. It took me 3 truck loads to transport it all. Truly a treasure hunt! I have spent many years identifying the agates. I have not even touched the surface on petrified wood. I slab, cab, and Rockhound. I found this forum when looking for answers to repair my equipment. Thank you for having me in your community. I look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome. Sounds like a really cool experience being able to buy up an old rock shop. Look forward to seeing what all you do here.
