Meviva, the material at the estate sale is sold by the bucket. $30 flat. You can fill as many buckets as you want. The larger pieces that don't fit in the buckets can be negotiated, but I usually sell them as two or three buckets depending on material and size. You can just show up between 10 and 5. No need to rsvp. Just show up ready for fun. But please show up soon enough to be done before 5. I have children and need to leave right at 5, or I'm in trouble. I have had to turn people away for showing up at 4:45. $30 a bucket is a good price.I bought many buckets full from a rock man and I think 40-45 lbs was the avg weight.So around 75 cents a pound.Sounds like great hounding to me! snuffy |

The property is still very similar, Beefjello. The main pile is a little smaller, but not much.

There are a lot of slabs out there, but it is mostly rough. Mr. Toner was a sphere maker, so there are triangle shaped slabs all over. |

I would be happy to get you in there. Just give me a heads up. I need to get about 10 to 15 people out there at once in order for it to be worth my time. It's a long ways for home and it takes me away from my shop.

Hi Rockhoundenstein, I'll be in Arizona from the 10th through the 16th, specifically in the quartzite area around the 10th-12th. You said a lot of the collection will be pulled out to quartzite? If so, where and when at quartzite? Will you be at the estate at all during this period? If you are, I might try to rearrange some plans to get out to the estate.
Thanks,
Jon
