great looking rocks!

Do you know what any of them are?
They look an awful lot like some of the Iraqi rocks I have.
Especially the red & yellow/orange one in the middle of the first picture, the one to the top left of it (The corner is touching the red middle rock), and the larger brown-ish rock to the left of the second rock I just mentioned.
and all those othe red / brick red rocks in the other pictures

nice shine- I saw Txp somewhere and was encouraged to use it on my leather belt for polishing cabs- I went with the Cerium Oxide and have not been thrilled at this point- One wonders why I'm soo sturborn at times- But I got the Cerium and the belt is loaded with it- so until i'M READY TO DROP ANOTHER $30 (oops sorry about the cap locks there) on another leather belt I guess I'm stuck!

I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

Hey Ron, you got some real shinners there!! Gotta love all this Glasial Till! You are about 50 miles to the East of me there. Where are you in the Roscommon area? My grandparents used to have a cabin on the North end of Higgens Lake, near the AmVets if you are familar with that area. Spent a lot of time over there years ago hunting and fishing. Take care, Bill

Sure I've enjoyed pilaging, but with so many people turning to RTH, I've had to look for other sorces of pleasure! ;D

Ron

Ummmmmmm yeah, so is that the answer to what you've been up to lately? You've been out pilaging? *insert evil grin* Just be good and don't stay away so freakin' long next time, you make people wonder!
