It is advertised as mostly lots of equine items and general estate. Many collectibles and antiques in addition to household items. What caught my eye was "rock collections and grinding equipment".
It is only 13 miles from my place. Will be there when they open at 9:00 AM Friday with cash in hand.

Good luck. Sounds exciting. Maybe arrive a half hour early. Heck, I bet somebody tries the afternoon before.

I hope that you strike it rich, Beth! greig 's advice is sound, so you might consider 15 minutes earlier than that.

OK, $250 for everything. Will be picking up tomorrow or Thursday, prior to sale.
Looks like you made a great deal!

It looks like your weekend plans just changed! That will be fun going through and hopefully finding some neat little treasures! Thumbs up for snagging it prior to auction!

I am working tomorrow through Sunday. Unfortunately most everything will stay in my car until Monday when I am off work. I might snag some things out to see before work.

Then it's like 5 days before Christmas and all you can do is shake the presents in the meantime! LOL Hang in there! I'd be having dreams of sugerplum agates for five days! LOL

Score! You are leaving all that in your car? Doesn't look like it would fit in my truck. LOL Uou probably helped the estate who had no idea what to do with the stuff. Enjoy.

Unfortunately, plans changed. I was to arrive at start of sale, 9:00 AM. Pay for everything then. All was sold prior to my arrival to someone who arrived before the sale started. This is a good thing, as I had major car problems on way to sale. Now need over $1000.00 of repairs done. Someone was looking out for me.
Am off work Sunday and Monday. Will be going through the major treasure that the resident pirate on the RTH FB page left for me. He hid it about 3 miles from my place. Left a map, "photos" of where to find treasure. I picked it up at about 6:45 AM yesterday.
So, all is well.
