For over the past year or so someone about 20 minutes from me has been slowly selling his Father’s lapidary collection. He advertises that items will be on a table at end of driveway. Puts a bucket for money under table. Honor system.

Everything pictured came to $42.00.

The largest slabs are 7-8” long.

The fossil shells have some nice flash.

Some others were there before me this AM. There was over $150.00 in bucket.

I wonder what else was there.

The seller said he restocks the table when it gets low. I might stop back before work tomorrow.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

That's a great haul for ~$40!
Now you just need to bring them some coffee/doughnuts some Saturday morning to see if you can get the neighborly discount and maybe an inside shot at the stash.

I'll be curious to see what treasures you find in the upcoming days/weeks.

RickB: Cheaper by the dozen? Nov 10, 2024 7:07:13 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

amygdule: I like my sandwich made by a talented artist that deserves a Tip...Thank You Nov 11, 2024 7:12:10 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: I make my own sandwiches and yet I never tip myself... OMG I'm the a@@hole! Nov 11, 2024 11:29:51 GMT -5

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

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)
