Hi John and list, now this is the type of questions that should be on our
list!!! I to want to hear the answers to John's questions too. I never
quite thought about it! Having hunted GB many times, I have to wonder if any
of the strewn fields data is strewn field data or nothing more than rock
movement data? I wonder how many GB finds are actually where they landed, I
bet, not many? I know Bob V. will have these answers!
Thanks, Tom
