Great scores! Looks like you got some of that new nellite/neolite/golden skies pietersite. It comes from near the pietersite mines. It is technically pietersite but because it looks so different, they call it something else. (picture #5) Tela that piece actually came out of a totally new claim. Found it a few months ago and get this... it's in Georgia!!!! We ain't got no purdy rocks ! And it sounds like a miracle ("and get this... it's in Georgia!!!!"). |

@notjuststone
This is actually my daughter's senior trip. She wanted her an I to take a trip just us before going to college and hopefully eventually leaving me with my empty nest syndrome 😢🎉🎉😢 hubby wasn't quite comfortable with that so my sis got her first cruise free haha Con an I went on a 2 week Europe cruise a couple of years ago. If I was a rocklicker then it would have been so much more enjoyable.

I do some hunting ..mostly it is in Mississippi around the Homochitto river ... There is a place by Bude Ms that has a big gravel bar just off Hwy 98 that is a nice place to hunt , and a few more places along the river ... I use Google earth to canvass the river to find gravel bars and acess points that would be allowable. Lots of private land butts right up to it ... I dont do much at all on the big river..lol..too much water to drink if I fall in....

Thunder69 , I didn't know you were another Southerner. Awesome! There's more of us than I thought.  melhill1659 The only way you could get me on a cruise ship would be to drug me first. Kinda like Mr. T and airplanes. LOL! I get terrible sea sick and not impressed by tourist areas. My family, who are seafarers, just can't understand my disdain for ships (and boats). Well, no, I do like canoeing .
