Here's the deal. I gotta lot o' rock, and while working the past couple days, I realized I have allot o' cr*p rock. Now, when I say this is cr*p rock...it's still rock, and it's still agate from the Northern Cadys {plume, nodule, moss} and there might be some things you can do with this - practice face polishing, tumble, cut into tiny cabs for small pieces of jewelry, throw at cats - you get the picture... So, since it's not good enough for the kid's booth as is, I'm offering it here free to the first person responds to this email and then PM's me their address. That's right....I will pay shipping to whoever requests this rock first. Rule Limitation (Sorry to do this) but you gotta have at least 100 posts for me to send this to you.....and you can't have more than 500... AGAIN - you must have between 100 and 500 posts to get this.... It's a reward for those who have stuck around and not left this site and contributed to the topics here. For those with over 500 posts - heck, you probably have better rock than this already... Oh, yeah, what better way to show off Cr*p rock than with grainy, ill-lit, fuzzy photos that don't do the rocks any favors in how they look: See - cr*ppy junky stuff.... Oh, cause it's free....I'll send it when I have a chance to get to the blasted post office.... And don't even think I've put anything else in here....I haven't....No joke. I'm just sending cr*p rock. Not even coprolite. When you get the box, have no expectations. None. Lowell (I do believe I have not oversold the contents.) :serious:

When I sold my house and got ready to move I took about 15, 5 gallon buckets of rock to the club workshop and left them by their door. Did I say I went on a day I knew nobody would be there? Good rock, or I must have thought so in my early days of collecting.

Better yet, would you trade it for a used, slightly torn left sneaker that the dog used as a chew toy? Just asking.

I love a challenge- doesn't mean I'll be successful though. However I refuse to throw it at cats, humans or any other animal. I fit the 100-500 posts but I'm sure that I have never added anything meaningful to the board. Thanks Lowell. PM sent Bill

Sometimes when you ask questions a lot of people learn something from the answers. I know I have. So I am quite sure you have contributed something and it looks like you made a hell of a deal there Bill.
Awesome gesture Lowell. It looks like there is a little more than crap in that bunch. Jim

That was the funniest thing I've read here... ("When you get the box, have no expectations. None. Lowell (I do believe I have not oversold the contents.)"
AHHH!!! LMAO!!! And they are not as awful as you claim! Lots of those could be really pretty tumbles!!

I received the so called cr*p rock a few days ago and its clear that Lowell's idea of cr*p and mine are probably 2 entirely different things. I'm convinced there is some good stuff in there and can't wait to try tumbling some of it. Thanks again lowell, I'll post some pics when I'm done but it may take a while. My tumblers are all currently full. bill
