Hello Everyone!
This is Brett and for some reason I still can't get my password! Well' anyway. Lat week my mom was talking to my grandfather at Osco's about me polishing and cutting rocks and a guy overheard her talking and said to her that her has rocks and some equip. he would like to sale. I went over to his house and he had a 20'' rock saw,trim saw with grinder, 3 more grinders set up a 3 lbs tumbler a polish machine for cabs, a dop pot with lots of dop,templates, books, the HOLE set up. But the best of all was the 1500lbs of u name it rocks about 100lbs of crystals, a large box of fossils that are leafs,dino poop 25lbs of rough amber and about 200lbs of slabs allready cut!............for $300.00 ;D

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! You just hit the lotto Brett. Congrats!!!! Wow what a deal, those are the kind of situations that a rock lover can only dream about. Do you realize that a good working 20' rock saw in average used condition is worth probably $1000 smackers minimum. And just think of the 1500 lb of rock at a super sale for .50/lb? UMMMM 50 cents gozinta 1500... seven hundred fitty times brother, ka...ching! My key board is drenched in drool as I type this...yuck...got to go get a roll of paper towels...brb...........................I'm back, where was I, Oh yea.....man you got a sweet deal there Brett. The guy has really given you a great gift, probably inspired by hearing of your enthusiasm for the hobby. I don't see how you could have gotten a better deal even if you knocked him in the head with one of the rocks, strapped him to the automatic feed on the rock saw and filled his ears with hot dop wax! DID YOU? Hehe, congrats again and treasure the gift Brett, you will enjoy that stuff for a lifetime. Sounds like you need to put a big thankin' on your mom too. Now, get busy buddy and HAVE FUN! talk to you later, Don

This has got to be the greatest single find of all time, I hope that you appreciate the generousity of the gentleman. Now your mission is to tumble and give away as many rocks to kids as you possibly can.
