Recently weighed the 8 buckets I have outside for a total of 413 pounds. I'm having a hard time imagining how many tons of stuff you have there! Figured little more than 3 tons. |

How does one get a haul like that? 60 more buckets? Geez! Very nice I bought out a rock shop and one of my partners passed. I have hauled a 100 buckets plus already. Maybe 300 Or so in my garage. I have 5 saws 14 in and bigger. |

Nice haul!! For some reason this scene from the movie Jaws came to mind when I saw all that stuff. We are going to need a bigger boat ( or trailer lol)  Hah, left a third of it there to pick up later. |

Dang. Nice haul and what a trailer to haul with. I bet steep grades are interesting when fully loaded. I saw one in BC that had to use the runaway lane. I guess his trailer brakes were faulty. Pulls like nothing was there. I had to buy a trailer to truck adapter. When I plugged it in I had full time brakes. Took apart the plug to re wire and so coroded I ended up snipping wire to the brakes.... Was nervous at first but not much traffic. Only one hill dropped it down a gear. |

I'm not sure I'd be moving very fast...or at all...after moving all that! You're gonna need some Ibuprofen and some pain patches after all that! Nice haul though! The part of me that hurts the most is my feet. I am never very far from my 800 ibuprofen though. |

Wow, toiv0 , you did some serious plundering! Awesome haul.  What did the pirate say when he was asked why he was wearing a paper towel on his head? "Arrrg it's my bounty" |

Yeah, miscellaneous stuff alright. I even saw the kitchen sink in there!!!
Friend of ours here might still have an old Viking with one large and one small barrel for it if you need more parts. But after this haul it looks like you've probably got at least one of everything... .
The large barrel has a hole in lining. I am going to run it until it wears through the metal. Probably build a jamesp hopper. I'll be in Arizona in Jan (getting more rocks) if you it would check on it. |

We Use it as a pigment for soils. As careful as you are you are red at the end of the day. I believe about. One 364th will color a bright red.
I wouldn't use it,the rivers would run red. You could never wash it out. Three showers and the towels are still pink.

Made a couple more moss cuts today. This first one cut a nice slab, the following cuts the moss disappeared and it turned into more of a banded agate.  I’m trying to cut as much variety as I can, but it’s hard to get away from priday. I really dig the color change in this one.    I have had buckets of Pridays and seem to only cut plain ones. When I buy do I look for a certain bed? Maybe I have to cut thousands before I get a nice one. |
