Yeah always keep the hat for emergencies like this. Farmers Markets, cowboy bars and funerals. Don't want bad vibes.. Have a camera hooked to your scope? I think I have an attachment for mine but haven't messed with it since it stopped being the newest best thing a few years back. Didn't think about it. Nerdy but not that nerdy. Lots of pictures out there and everyone will glance quickly and then forget about them. The hat and glasses might leave some people with a few haunting memories and if I'm lucky some night sweats. Well at least no one read your mind or scanned your brain during the eclipse, not that they would have been disappointed.....

Thanks Mike. Have a restful weekend? Sure need one at times. I sure do. Pushing hard to get a lot of work done before I have to get the knee cut on. Dang..
Pretty good weekend, good luck with the surgery bud. It's a major relief when the pain is gone.

Colorful bunch . And I thought you said ya didn't have rocks there . All kinds of rocks but tumble worthy rocks are not too common. Could build a house out of all the quartzite. I actually find a lot of agates but not very pretty & have had hard lives.

Liking that real purdy one with the dendrites. Going to putter with slabbetes and cabbing later down the line when you get more and more and more equipment? grin We all have such unique rocks in our own areas. We don't like me as much as the other gal's or fellow's but they do. Like the variety big guy !! If only the boss lady would let me spend the cash for a slab saw & cabbing machine......BTW these were "expertly" cut on a HF tile saw.

melhill1659 great trip report & finds! Did you have to ask someone for permission to access that quarry? Love that 5 gallon bucket dolly with the big off road wheels, never seen one. fantastic5 did you find the fossils in TN? Please say yes.... The quarry is opened to rockhounders on Sundays. They just leave the gate open for you to drive in and respectfully take what want. You do have to print out and take your own Liability Release form. It's called a Bucket Buddy. I purchased it on the Home Depot website. I replaced the original wheels with ballon wheels so it would roll over soft sand. It has been a God Send. Ummm just had a thought. I need to take it by jamesp so he can make me a bigger sturdier one that holds 3-5gallon buckets and is higher for better ground clearance!!! That's hard to believe you can access a quarry so easily, sweet. Gotta get me a bucket buddy. Thanks

I guess if you squint your eyes & have the right light.....You're back on CL after that monster score, man you've got it bad. I check daily for a deal on a &@# slab saw within driving distance, no luck in my area....
