I only managed to scale it down to 27 pounds before it went to Canada.

yes, it was a great 27 lbs, and I tried to get it worked down but when I weighed it for sending it was right back up there at 27lbs.

as you journey through this life remember to stop and think before acting, all actions have reactions

I will begin sign ups for the next round soon! Slab up that Mary Ellen and save some for Round 6!! LOL

LOL gotta lot of neat stuff to slab. Just need for things to thaw out a bit. As soon as we start staying above freezing, I'll get to cutting.

Ain't gonna live forever. Ain't got no rockhounds around my area. Don't want it all to end up in the landfill. So if I'm not swamped with honeydo"s, I'll slab as much as I can.

Posted a pic of the Mary Ellen in the fossils / Artifacts section. Too big for my saw. Gonna have to use my air chisel and split it before slabbing. Looks like nice solid material. Have a couple days in the 30's coming. May be able to work on it.

I'm working on a deal to get a supply of that sweet South Dakota fossil clam material that jamesp posted in the specimens section. If all goes well, I'll have slabs for the next box. Everybody keep your fingers crossed.

Sounds like it's getting close to me, should be just in time since we're picking up an old collection next weekend. Hopefully we'll get it within a couple weeks since we will be unable to process it for a time in the middle of March.
