really cool corals. I bet the one in the fourth photo would make some killer cabs, and that first botroydal is outstanding.

I added one on for hauling the 27 foot travel trailer. Saves ware on the shocks and leaf springs and takes some of it off your axle. Good to here, a pleasure to view the corals you find. |

Sitdown rock collecting; whatta deal. Nice haul. Here, filling 2-3 milk crates makes us feel pretty good, you come in w/pickup load, amazing.

I modified a boat trailer with 3500 lb axles so it could hold boat + rocks. Once boat loaded the rocks can be transferred to truck on flat land. But the biggest problem is the trailer falling off the ledge at the end of a boat ramp of a dry river. The whole axle can be torn away pulling the boat/trailer out of the water. Need to weld some slide ramps in front of the wheels on the bottom of the trailer to raise the wheels above CL of tires. Some concrete ramps drop 3 feet straight. |

spiritstone, 1500 pounds of rock is more than I can process. A lot of it is duds too. Best to collect as much as possible, fill a ditch with the duds.

I agree, they look good as landscape rock in my yard to. If you ever get tired of processing that much coral, no problem taking some of it off your hands. |
