John, the rust is actually dirt imbedded into the crust, and the green tint is also mud and the green moss crap that grows under houses. There is around 20 kilos, actual weight still unkown as he put it in the bank vault and did not weight it all. The main mass is around 6 kilos. It will be New Orleans. Picayune is just the name of the newspaper. Mike
