tracer Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 i will always be amazed at those pieces. it is hard to comprehend how much effort it takes to bring them from where they're found to the amazing display pieces they are by the time they are shown on the forum. just mind boggling.

Phoenixflood Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 i will always be amazed at those pieces. it is hard to comprehend how much effort it takes to bring them from where they're found to the amazing display pieces they are by the time they are shown on the forum. just mind boggling. Yes, one forgets how much effort it takes when all one has to do is pick up finds already prepped out by nature. Very nice work.
