These are great. I keep telling myself on one of our trips up and down highway 5 that we'll have to stop in this area and do some rockhounding... one day. Thanks for posting the pics.

It is a pretty smokin' piece. Should be exciting to see what luvtogrow does with it.

These are great! Are you going to cab these or just polish? Thanks for posting the photos. Those Rio's are fun. Similar to coconut geodes in that you never really know what you're going to get.

I've picked up most of my blades and wheels from John. Great Service, Great Price, Great Guy. Also, had my Covington vibratory lap and combination machine serviced directly by Covington. They're (more or less) a short drive for me so on one occasion, I took my unit there and they fabricated the parts for me and gave me a tour of the facility. Great bunch of people. Totally agree with you, stardiamond.

I got it pretty clean, today I will reinstall the blade and dump in the oil and get back to cutting. Yeah! That can be a real time-suck ... glad you're back up and running!

It's only 30 minutes from the airport, if you ever get the opportunity.... I'll have to chat with you ahead of time! We originally were going to be there Thursday and Friday with a late evening departure on Friday. Bummer! I'll ping you next time we are on a trip as I'd love to meet up with you and get our there!

Here are a couple new photos...... Discovered a new Gravel Bed! It appears to be bigger than the last one. Only problem is, the days are getting shorter, so you can't hunt more than an hour or so after work! Found this on the new gravel bed and had to open it up. Thanks for looking! Jeremy This is like all foreplay and no sex ... I'll have to figure out a way to get back out to Texas. Our business trip ended early and we simply took a connecting flight through Dallas with no layover.

Welcome to the forum! I say, give it a try... you're not going to hurt anything and they're already through the rough stage! Go for it!

x2 on Ed's comment. Sounds like a short in the system somewhere when it's tripping everyone's GFIs.
