Incidentally Ida, can YOUR Mano do THIS ..?.....



Hal, My Mano Rules.! You must be referring to the Golden Mano found this weekend at Christners.I spent all night polishing it and you were right, the Gold came to the surface. I am thrilled. One of a kind for sure.

Right out of the tumbler !


Final polish !

I give up...YOU WIN

I am packaging this beauty as a Digfest Prize ! So when is Digfest ???? Inquiring minds want to know...

lmao i love this site

Come on Nate.. Its painted ..


Hay Mr. Tater ( I LOVE RON WHITE!!)

I painted the rocks in my front yard white so the neighbors wouldn't park on my grass!

I got some "Paint Rocks" from a buddy at work.. They have colored pigment inside that I guess they used for painting thing.. I got Yellow.. Orange and a few not opened yet so I dont' know what color they are inside...

Ever see them kinda rocks??? Pretty Cool!

He said he would take me to his Aunt's property to get a few for myself.. Pretty nifty ! Don't know what color you have untill you open it up! COuld be white.. Could be black!
NEATO!

It's the dawn of a new collectors category....EXOTIC Manos....think of the possibilities, stainless steel, aluminum, meteorite, tungston. . . . .
Immagine the joy of a screener finding a 2 pound mano made out of Uranium 235

Only inquiring minds need absorb the following::::

Digfest will be in OCTOBER

Digfest will be on a SUNDAY

There are FIVE Sundays in 2010 October.

The Chrisners will fix exactly what Sunday.

To avoid another mud slug, I suspect the 10 day weather forecast on WEATHER.COM will have the most bearing.

This year we'll see how the pros can handle 70* temps with a light overcast

man i knew as soon as i saw this i had to have 1 of these precious metal mono's but i didn't think i would find 1 this quickly.check out the 1 i found made of titanium.

Awesome!!!

The real test of authenticity for highly mineralised grinding stones will be the price range on Ebay

It's still pouring rain today, got plenty of time to look back in the old archives.
Here's a pic of natural mano varieties. Note magnetic one, etched on and N TX sandstone...
