Title: Points and Rock ID
Post by: hillbilly61 on April 08, 2010, 10:13:02 pm: I hope these are a decant start to napping. The first set I worked on over the week and the second one I did today, The clear glass ones are from TV glass The others are from some flakes that Bill Skinner was gracious enough to let me have at the Pre Spring Arrow Fling :) TY Bill. Now I am not only addicted to bow making, But also this ;D
This last pic is of a rock we found and have never seen anything like it. I'm thinking it is a meteorite. But I thought I would ask y'all rock experts. I'm going to send a piece to Auburn to get it analysed.

That way, it doesn't feel like you're addicted. Hanging with a bunch of primitive nuts like us will skew your perspective of your addiction. Hell, I just call it FUN!!

Actually I did find a bunch of that one time along the RR tracks that fell out of a hopper. Some kind of ore..

Post by: cowboy on April 11, 2010, 09:35:29 pm: You gotta rent the movie "Joe dirt". I didn't get a whole lot out of it but it's kinda funny.. It's an eightie's, maybe early ninety's comedy.. I think.
