That's an enormous amount of rock! Holy cow, I'd probably faint if I ran across a sale like that.

Best we ever did was at an estate sale of a geologist who worked in the mines in Jerome. All the rock was in a shelter with a roof and shelves. Saw some gold glittering under all the dirt on a rock (they must have sat there for years untouched), so Vince went and asked the gal who was running the sale how much for all the rock? She asked him if there was anything good in there and Vince told her he didn't know, there was too much dirt on them to even see. She said, "$10.00?" Vince made himself look undecided and then said ok and peeled off a $10. We went home with 300 lbs of rock stuffed into a Mustang. The gold turned out to be some really nice chunks of Apache Gold.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Also the Buchanan And Succor creek thundereggs.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
