El Dorado

All I s good Fred, I still enjoy looking at the Aussie nuggets you sent me. They occupy a special spot on my jewelry bench. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods

Lightening Ridge Black Opal, N2 color and 5/5 brightness. It’s got all the colors. Almost as good as it gets. 1.9 carats from the LaHoud claims

John, you are like a fine wine....

NEVER FORGET

Well Dang everyone. just finished reading the entire thread. Dave, it is coming along very well. One comment, if you have the means($$$) to use a magneto do it, It would be far superior to a distributor, especially for prop starting. Not to mention reliability issues. Personally I would never ever want to depend on a battery to keep the motor running. I'll be here a bunch more to see the progress......and of course throw in my 2cents

Thanks Don and Bill....I can certainly make that fine nugget into a pendant for you. I'm in Foresthill, not that far from Quincy. email is sjwandt(at)Reagan.com

Any place I know?

Good Luck Ron, Hope you heal well and fast

NO fantastic Brazilian Coffee..... you are losing it Don!

looking at the wires, some have a corrugated pattern and some are straighter. I would guess they were originally together in a weaved pattern and may have been a screen of some sort.....If they are brittle that might indicate some nickle in the alloy and that is why they might not rust that much....just a WAG.

Tom, I could make one into a nose ring just for you.........

Bet you wondered what that was? A Lady detectorist in Virginia asked for one of these and here is what she got. It was fun to make.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
