Hi Martin I agree that the shape is perfect to be a Canyon Diablo. But
the caliche is way to spotty. When a CD is dug out is either covered
in white caliche or scaly rust. There are some that have been sticking
out of the ground that show that nice patina but I don't think they
have the caliche. I guess it could be a CD that was collected 50 years
ago and gently cleaned and oiled by being handled over time?
