Howdy Rockfolk- I have been blessed and am grateful for so many things- and this Forum is one of them. I've been a forum member since 2011, and during that time I came to realize that A. I was very fortunate to live in Oregon due to its variety of rocks to collect, oogle, and work, and B. There's a bunch of folks just getting started and that they may only have a small trim saw or tile saw to cut rocks with. C. There are some truly amazing, knowledgeable people on here, and I have benefited greatly from their shared knowledge.
So in an attempt to pay it forward, I'm offering a SFRB of baby T-eggs to the 1st 5 people that PM me their name and shipping address, and don't have a saw larger than a 6" trim saw or 7"tile saw. Also must live in the lower 48. This will cost the recipients absolutely nothing,nada,zip. Of course you're invited to post pictures of your tiny treasures. I do not know the location these eggs are from, though others may help w/ ID. I believe most are from Oregon.
Once I get your address, I will confirm you as 1 of the lucky 5. I go to the PO only 1 or 2 times a week, so your patience is appreciated. Happy Cutting, Mike.

arrowheaddave claimed box 2 of the 5, only 3 left. Who's next? It would be really great if some Newbies got in on this so the last 3 boxes will go to those with under 100 posts.

2 boxes of FREE baby T-eggs left- I may get to the Post office tomorrow so if you qualify, hurry and stake a claim!
O.K. So far, 3 boxes are all going to western states that are rich in great rock finds. What's up w/ you rock starved Midwest and Easterners?

All 5 SFRB's are now spoken for. It was great to make some new acquaintances and made for a busy day, something I enjoyed.
Thanks to all who played, We will look forward to some pics of your treasures once they're cut.

Friday 2/27, I shipped 5 SFRB's this morning- Y'all should get them by mid-week.
i know I said I would PM each of you when shipped, but I am preparing to move on Sunday, and just can't spare the time to send you each tracking numbers, though I do have them if we need them. Thanks for your understanding.
