I'm one who tends to put more in than I take out.

hahahaha Don, we all have more than we can use in two lifetimes. Well, a good share of us anyway. I would be unhappy if I didn't have way more rocks than I can use up. That way my kids will have to put out some effort carrying them away. My daughter will want to save it all because it was her dad's and my son will want to sell every scrap of it that is worth something. I should fake my death so I can see who wins. lol

Except for my minerals, Fairburns and fossils, all of my rocks and equipment are going to a few friends who live within a days driving distance of me. Can't see my wife getting pennies on the dollar at an estate sale. I'd rather give a few very close friends something to remember me by. I've already told my wife what the few other things are worth, and how much to sell them for.

I wish I was in that boat... I guess I haven't been at this long enough... I'm still collecting as much variety as I can so I can do pieces for others on a request basis... so all you hoarder out there looking to thin out your mountains!!!.... I could always use some more yellows, greens, blues... and reds when you get around to thinning it some... going to need it when I start teaching my daughter to cab/wrap stones... hopefully this winter!!

OK, so I have all the rocks but little time to make a box.

I do have $5 here from rockpickerforever (thanks Jean!) for the two overseas boxes. my paypal is scott dot solar at gmail dot com if you wish to donate, please send it as a gift. Nine more folks helping out at $5 is what we seek.

Per request, here is the latest pix transferred from another thread.

The box will be mailed to Justin either tomorrow or Tuesday (after I get a LFRB). Someone needs to either take out more than they put back or put something smaller in there as we will need a 55 gallon drum the way things are going!

I added Mexican Crazy Lace, Tiger Eye, Cherry Orchard, Paiute Agate, Madegascar agate, some small Georgetown tumblers, rose quartz, and some cabs and preforms.

This is what I put in

This is what I took out

This is what I received, less that which Christopher put in and from the old box (see previous pix from him)

rocknrob: I make my own sandwiches and yet I never tip myself... OMG I'm the a@@hole! Nov 11, 2024 11:29:51 GMT -5

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
