I bought a lapidary estate this weekend, My FIL, Mel, Jason (1rockhound) and John (pebblepup) went with me and helped me load it up. Quite a variety of obsidain, lots of Owyhee jasper, quite alot of pet wood (quite a few pieces over 100 lbs), lots of individual pieces of material from all over, and a few pieces of equipment. I have not unloaded the trailer yet, but I did get a few pictures before I unhooked the trailer. We sorted most of the obsidian into the blue crates as we were loading it. A 20" saw in bad shape, a 10" panther saw that has not even been put together yet, a 45 lb tumbler, a 2 wheel grinder, a polisher, and assorted other pieces of equipment. (Oh yeah and a 9.9 hp boat motor!) Just a random shot of some dirty rocks, I am guesstimating the total weight of the rocks to be around 10,000 lbs. Thanks Mel, Jason and John for all your help!! Tony
