    I'' a 78 year old granny from New Mexico, USA. I thiink I'd have a heart attack if I found as many gorgeous treasures as you lads find! Keep the vids coming!!

    Great to see you and the the boys out & about. Nothing wrong with carrying on like a six year old when out being
    a “Rock Emu”, helps the time go by. Amazing that Locky found the “agates” that go with the “ whilly chalcedony”.
    So many new fossicking terms I’m yet to learn.😂😂

    Your finds are stunning. Your comradery is fantastic. The philosophy bit are great. Thank you for sharing. I read one of the comments from a 78 yr old from New Mexico. I'm going to be 62 in July and a great grandma in September. I'm I live way up north in CA, almost to Oregon. We have beach agates, jasper and other bits. I found one about as wide as 3 of my fingers as was on top of the world. Lol. Nothing compared to what you youngsters find or the ones found in Montana, etc.. If I wasn't disabled and could afford it, I would travel with my 14 yr old granddaughter as she is a rock hound also. Thanks to all of you out there sharing, we get to see amazing beauty from all over the world.

Tbh your rhyolite has sat on my kitchen bench for almost a year now and I see it daily hoping you know I’m not a bad person 🤦‍♂️ especially recently I’ve been in hermit inside my shell mode because of not having my Ritalin for over a month and also just being overwhelmed with work/life and I tend to hide when I get like that. But man I promise that admiration and love is always gonna be there Symon! The longer I take to respond to someone the worse I feel and then the harder it is to reply because in my head they think I’m crap.
      I’m moving in with my girlfriend this month (was meant to about 3 months ago) and I’m looking forward to being on a better routine and returning to rookie more properly and being more present with everyone here. I promise my brother, I’m looking forward to returning to how I used to be and can’t wait to prove I’m so attached especially to you guys who keep showing up

      @symonrocks9847 Місяць тому

      Jesse, my friend, please don't put yourself down like that, I know you, I know who you are and your character is certainly of good standing with a caring nature, I've seen it and from our lengthy conversations over the years I understood the kind of person you are, if anything I am the strange one, I think everyone who has read my comments in the past went one of two ways , they either laughed at my stupid and sarcastic observations or thought I was not a full pizza, but I can only eat 8 slices that's why I ask them not to cut it into 12 slices!
      No, the reason for my asking was you seemed taken by Green jasper so I thought I would send you a slice along with some other cabbing slabs.
      I am reducing my collection and stock and will be going more into faceting pieces for mostly give aways, but as I have so much stock and recently acquired some blue slag glass, I won't say how much it cost but a six pack should cover it, bargain eh.
      Plus with faceting the items are small and postage will be nominal.
      Chin up, and the other one, lol.
      Everything will turn out right, you are a likable fellow with a face fit for radio not movies, just messing.
      We are all glad you bounced back and found your feet again, that period of adjustment can make or break someone and you have had your fair share of grief, so put on your six shooters, gather up the gang and head for the creek but watch out for those shooting dung, I still say you should put a blanket or similar I a secluded part of a creek , it will trap flour gold etc.
      For those who don't get the six gun thing, Jesse is originally from America along with his brother Frank, but they didn't really Rob trains, no they chose gas stations.
      Much respect brother.
