A meteor-wrong found by the treasure-hunter in Sun Valley, AZ. |
Gold found by our intrepid treasure-hunter. |

A club feeding frenzy ensued over the lapidary material. |
My recently-purchased botryoidal orpiment won "Find of the Month" tonight! Note: contest rules do not require items be personally mined or collected or that they even be material with a local provenance. |
