Hi Adam and all,
You say that you looked at Greg's auctions and you can't tell from his
images about the validity of what he's selling, and I have to admit that
after I saw the pictures, I agreed with Steve Arnold (Chicago!) that this

I seem to recall from Nininger's book "Find A Falling Star" that Nininger

Take heart. "Almost a year"? Try never. The last

I have a 16 gram fragment of Park Forest with a large cluster of gold

I also wondered quite a bit about the metal and seeing as it was definitely

I will post some photos of it
