I don't know what to do ! Wanted to email it to Dwain and ask him but I cannot find a email for him
I haven't even washed it! heh Like my other gorget its still filthy! I just don't want to clean it! ]
When I first foudn it , the holes were full of dirt.. I have ski shots of me taking pictures of it before I even FOUND the holes and poked then with a stick!!!
Splitting image i noticed while staring at that thing tonight
I was on a conference call tonight, staring at that thing, and noticed 2:00 o'clock was identical to 8:00 o'clock, and 10:00 o'clock was identical to 4:00 o'clock. Remember Hal, what goes around, comes around, but it was a good one.
Broke one of the golden rules for digging. No fakes at dig site. You will now always have a big ???? every time you pull a good point out. You will wonder if someone is messing with you and will take away from some of the excitement. Just my opinion, but I don't like fakes floating around joke or not.
Took me 60 yrs to be able to send an Email, then 5 more yrs before I could " paste" a pic on this website,
Now it's all change !
I have 3 picture proof to justify an "April fools jest" so here's the 3000 words instead !
I am guiltless.. . It was just your run of the mill April first that every body has. In fact if there is
some "confusion", , , , it's Flo Town's fault !
He was going to make a double based Corner tang for the event but never got around to it.
I dont Knap so I had to create something noteworthy ! Two double based Perds were recently admired on the postings so I selected MONTELLS !
Just slapped them together with epoxy.....
I've been known to put the occasional drop of epox on some small broken pieces, and EVERYTIME I show it to Badger , she says , , , AHA. . .EPOXY!
For 8 YEARS. I knew she would spot the fix on the eccentric Montell immediatly !
When the epox dried, it looked so good, I thought, "man that would make a neat GORGET".
Through the magic of South African diamonds on a nail. . . VOILA ! Two holes . BEAUTIFUL.
After the shock of finding a complete double Montel and all the pics taken. . . .only THEN were the holes
discovered. . . . . . . . . . .
NOW THE SNOW BALL IS ROLLING DOWNHILL.
Phone calls to all parts of the world, incomming calls of congratulations. All of flintdom is in a Whooo~ Hoo mood.
Badgers not one to fool easily ! She caught right on to the congratulatory Ice cold beer I gave her, filled with ice cold SALT....presented by a stuffed animal holding an APRIL FOOLS sign !
Every cloud has a silver lining [ but you might have to look very hard !]
Now and forever, Badger has a gorgeous, one of a kind double based gorget.
with a great " finding " backround story.
Dwain Rodgers can still paper it as planed, genuine fake.
For the lucky few that saw the first rush postings last evening were treated to a series of update pics
like we used to have in the old days every Monday afternoon.
Alas they are now deleted.
My 2 typing fingers are now well caloused ! If this posting doesnt post, thats it , no more.
Michelle, besides the Gorget deal, looks like you had a pretty decent day. I would still be happy with those finds. I got nadda yesterday. You'll feel better after you get your pound of Hal's flesh.
great joke Hal. That was funny. If your going to call her Badger, she may have to call you Pinocchio .
But then again, it was April Fools Day so I guess you get 1 good one a year, free.
