And may I add to the "too good to be true" statement... How about I go thru the shop, get some pics of what's being cut, what's been cut for slabs. I'll show you whats up on the chopping block etc. I wish I could get good enough pictures of rough agates so that you could see what's going on inside. There isn't a rock in that shop that doesn't have some sort of banding, patterns, color or dendrites. Straight up. It's a rock hunter's dream come true. Lol sometimes it's a brain overload  |

We make a trip to Roundup,MT,about every other year (hometown)..Once in a while I trip up to Glendive to fossil hunt. If I do that this summer,will give you a holler and might score some agate from ya'...I know the Sidney area well.. Have a few buddies up there,I need to visit too.. hell yeah that sounds cool. It's gonna be a great spring I think. I've only been living here for 3 yrs and this will be my first REAL experience going out hunting right after the ice leaves. Steve has been telling me what's gonna go down and I'm stoked about it. |

I'm not sure that Paypal sends an address if you are using the "gift" (send money to family or friends) option.
Wendy, if you are not getting paid that (gift) way, fees will be taken from Paypal.

DUDE!!!!! If you're savy enough to post here and ride the river picking up rocks it really surprises me that you can't post a picture. As others (maybe myself, too) have already instructed... All ya gotta do is paste the link to the image into your message (which you do) then go back and type the word IMG ![]() ![]() right in front of it, surround IMG with a left bracket [ and a right bracket ] and then type [/img] at the end of the link. No spaces between the tags and the link. Rather simple.  All I did was copy your avatar file's location, paste in this message, and then typed in the tags mentioned above and there ya go...the lady with many names avatar!!! I am going to substitute a "1" for an "I" here so you can see the actual coding without the forum showing your avatar...just remember the "1" in the tags is pretending to be a "I" here: [1MG]http://storage.proboards.com/1258779/a/SQm30YJnmzkN0Hwi5pQn.jpg[/1MG] ....come on, DUDE!!!!! I don't think being mobile has anything to do with typing in tags, does it? |

Wendy, how much (average) in weight are you able to pack in a medium and large flat rate box?
ETA: not sure how much shipping you have done before this, but be aware that large FR boxes tend to self-destruct in transit at a far higher rate than the medium boxes. Extra padding inside and packing tape outside is highly recommended. Usually the corners that blow out, wrapping tape around the entire perimeter of the outside of the box seems to help.

Rule of thumb with shipping heavy and bulky things... If you think it *might* rip/tear/blow-out/bust/explode/crush/etc.,....it most likely will. Be confident with your tape and tape-job...or don't ship. See if you can find a picture of one of Jeremy/ txrockhunter 's MFRB of San Jancito agates...Seal Team Six couldn't blow into those boxes!<grin> |
