Basaltgooroo Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Wow! What a trip! I have to say that it was definitely worth the gas! I got skunked the first day but I definitely made up for it the second day. We made finds on both the North and South sides and explored a lot of the strewn field and most of our finds were individuals.. It was pretty cold in the morning and very warm from noon to 2pm-ish with an early sunset around 5-6ish. It wasn't easy to spot finds with the long winter shadows. I can't speak for my dad but I wouldn't have had the motivation to concentrate if it wasn't for my ipod blaring Tesla, Wasp, and Gn'R. Dad's total was 5.3g consisting of 1.15g 1.5g 0.7g 1.2g <==(Several fragments) My total was 30.4g consisting of 12.4g 4.3g 4.2g <==(Several fragments) 1.8g 1.7g 1.4g 1.3g 1.2g 0.8g 0.6g 0.4g 0.2g 0.1g I'll post the pics and vids soon.

Jim K Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Nice finds Erik! Do I sense a little payback to Ben for going without you last time? Just kidding, I'm sure he wished you were there. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regmaglitch Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi All, I actually like Tesla and Guns N Roses, I'm just not part of the Ipod generation. I had felt pretty good, having found the first one ( a nice complete individual) and I had even felt a little sorry that Erik had been skunked on saturday. Then on sunday, Erik got his groove on. There was a lot of anxiety and wondering if it was complete, before he popped out his largest stone. Then when we could see it was a beautiful, whole, uniquely-shaped stone, there was a whole bunch of screaming! Also, his second largest, the triangular-shaped stone has lip-over, and the entire back side is secondary fusion crust. Several are oriented or have flow lines. So, I continued to find smallish fragments with my old weak eyes, and Erik kept finding larger, whole stones with his sharp, young, eagle-eyes. That's hardly fair, is it? Sympathy for the kid? I don't think so!!! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldmanmike Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Man you guys always do good out there. :bowdown: About the only luck I have out there is to rub ant hills. Congrats! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basaltgooroo Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 It felt great to find something after dealing with my leg for 5 months. I'm surprised at how well we did and I can only hope we get that lucky next time we go out. [Erik] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
