 Hi MikeG I got a pic over on facebook, But will put up some on photo
bucket later. Ya I got a google earth map of all the recent finds across
the US and there are no finds in this location. Yes I will get it sent in to
be classified but there are 7 new finds ahead of it that need thin sections
cut & sent in. But before I send it in I gotta work the area over for more
new finds & see if there is more of it there , or if it's a loner & out
there all by its self. been raining here quite nicely for last few days. So
once the sun comes out it will be time look over the area.

 My poor wife's gotta put up with this 53 year old kid. So not sure if she
could handle a 41 yo son as well :)

happy hunting
