Those rocks are telling me that the rock crushing Companies are setting up on both sides of the Yellowstone and Little Missouri Rivers in that area... Some cool material is being dug up and crushed and or found from earth moving and walking the wide open ND prairies... Noah has struck rock gold in them there flats.....Good for him,good for him!!!!! I never seen material that good in the patch when I was oilfielding,NEVER! They do appear to be bringing rock from all over. The regions has pretty well run out of scoria for the roads and they have switched to gravel. There is still plenty of scoria in places but not so much in the pits where they can harvest it. Some of the pieces that go through the crusher are almost as heartbreaking as cliffs 10# hammer and shattered rock pile for his tumbler. I've made it to Sidney to pick a couple spots on the river and recognize the rock from there. I'm interested in which ones come from the little Missouri? Thanks for the reassuring words on the collection, being a newbie I wonder if I'm grabbing something worthwhile or if I'm hauling leverites. Noah, Mike is the boss of rock in that area. Bet you it might be worth going directly to the pits where it is being sent out of to your forwarding piles. Maybe a representative from the patch needs to inspect their pits for quality of road gravels and take samples to study periodically for quality control. Wink..

I always forget something. Next time I come out I'll load up a bunch sub sonic loads we can go whisper to some prairie dogs about digging holes. Maybe I leave it there for awhile. You remember that purdy bowling ball setting in the kitchen? Will load her up with some dry ice to get cold and brittle and then shoot er with one of our big guns. Maybe that 7.65 with a hot load but then again we don't want to pick up the "bowlerite" we make in the next county. Can that purdy little wife of your take a video? Molly won't do it if you don't give her more attention. How you get such a drop dead beautiful woman to marry you? .. Just need to put the ball out at 1,000 yard and shoot it with my long range setup. It won't hit it too hard.

I've got those picks, digging bars, wedges and sledge hammers. You say when and we'll hit the road. Headed back Tuesday night. Rivers should be down a bit from high flow. Gonna be some good picking. If you can roll by tomorrow after noon. We'll go get you some fluorite. 2ish or a bit earlier. Have a meeting to sign papers at the relator's tomorrow in morning and have to keep the crew moving along on the fall production. . I have get this muzzleloader sighted in. There is a buck deer out there with my tag hanging. He just doesn't know it yet.

Thinking of wrapping aluminum foil around the ball to protect it from flash burn and putting tannerite in front of targeting location for effect. Leave the whole package in the ball bag it came in. Should be fun. Have to shoot it either at the nursery or at a couple properties I own west of Olathe. Cant shoot an explosive like that on BLM land anymore. Have a fun friend that is a neighbor to those properties and he's got a 50 cal to admire and maybe shoot.

After Bundy ranch I stopped asking the BLM for permission. I have a few spots. Olathe has always been interesting. I'd like to look at those places if you're selling them for top dollar...lol

I'd like to look at those places if you're selling them for top dollar...lol One of those has a big pond, backs up to a million dollar home. No covenants. Good irrigating water. Can be between 3 and 14 acres with property line adjustment. Best is either a 4 acre piece or a 10 acre piece. 4 mile corner. Have them listed. Google themand see t it on google earth. Be a good building site and peaceful and quiet. No one messes with you with bigger land. Can show them to you. Listed in the MLS. Cheap. 125 or so. Might consider carrying one for you on 5 year balloon with a decent down. Just sold a 5 plus acre horse property. BAcked up to a river like the nursery property. They found asbestos in old house took a 8 k plus or minus hit but it will close in a week or so. Good report on your other material. Said you hit the mother lode. Pm him if you want further info and atta boys.

We're definitely interested in that area and ponds. Have to take a look 5223 CO-348
Olathe, CO 81425
The field and the land to the east of it around the big pond. All the way to the gravel drive to the big house and huge shop are the neighbors. Two one acre parcels have been carved of the west side for a new home and the other is a pest control lady.

Love that crazy looking chalcedony! And I'd be happy with those Montana agates alone. Sweet finds.

Let him know I'm all ears and elbows if he wants to talk rocks and have someone go fetch some more. Thank you Mike!

You've made it to the top of the curve! Excellent looking material. You've dialed it in! Thanks, it's easy for Cliff to sort through my stuff and take great pics of the high graded stuff. It's going to be a bit of work to find a home for the leverites.
