Hrmm... I am seeing all of them on a different computer. If anyone else is having this problem, I can give some linkages. They were posted on photobucket first....

Yes. We'll be cleaning some of it up this weekend.
As it turns out, it takes a bit of doing it before you get the hang of it. As of the time I took that pic of J looking at a specimen, we still really weren't sure what we were doing. In fact, it was only at the end that we had a full grasp of it, but by then we were exhausted.
A few hours into it, I realized I was tossing items that were actually a kind of opal that's brownish. I didn't realize that to get some of the fire out, you need to soak it a bit... yikes! I did, oddly enough, find a pretty good sized milky rose-colored stone in some old tailings from who knows when that had been pushed off to the side. I can't wait to get some shine on it, to see what I really have with some of the stones. I got mostly pinks, taupes, a little white, and I think a green specimen (which I'll determine whether or not it's opal after we clean it up).
We'll definitely be going again.
