Hello list,

After the Tucson show I camped in Gold Basin for a bit before continuing
my travels. I found a couple of stones that gave a "double hit" signal
on my GM IV, much like a nail or a piece of wire. I sent them off to MRF
and when Bob cut them he noticed that the metal wasn't evenly
distributed in the matrix but rather occured grouped or in veins.

UCLA anaysis showed them to be:
L5 S4 W2 Fa 24.0+/-0.4%
L5 S3 W2 Fa 24.7+/-0.3%

I've hung a picture up on my ftp site.

I've also hung a couple of Hualapai Wash if you want to take a look.
