« on: April 15, 2011, 06:44:49 pm »
  Hey  guys  I  envy  your  work!!!  I  have a  question,,,  is it  common  for you  guys to  find  fools  gold?????  I  allways  thought   you  get  it at  the  museum gift  shop,  or on  vacation ;D  and (I know I'll get  picked on!)  is it  worth  much???  I'm  looking  for  a  few  wallnut sized  hunks,  and  some  galena  let  me  know  thanks  JEFFW

  Thanks  guys!  as  soon as I hit  the  post  button I  thought oh  boy,,,here it  comes!!!!!!!   what  I'm  doing  is  making  a  couple  of crystal  radios!!!  I  have  a walnut  size  hunk of  pyrite  and it  picks up  good,,,  this  is  just  a  forty year old  hobby  of  mine,,,I  finally  got  a  razor  blade radio to  work  after  many,  many  tries.  I  know  Nada  about  rock hunting and  was  thinking if you  guys  found it when looking for  knapping  stuff  I  may  hit you up  on  that  'JW'  thanks   JEFFW

Sailordad, green owl poop is often a sign of liver or kidney damage.  Not cool, specially if it's my Great Horned Owl, Icarus, that's pooping green! 

Jeff, I second sailordad's motion.  Build-along!

we have alot of AM radio stations around my area
even more FM stations

but only the AM plays the oompapa music  ;D
nothing like a good ol' polka to get the feet tapping

actually i like listening to AM radio in the morning as i get ready for work
good way to catch up on all the local stuff happening,especially like the weather report every 15 mins   ;)
