It's taken me some time to get around to it but I finally cut this really nice double thunderegg from the Dugway bed in Utah. The reason it has taken me so long to cut it is due to its odd shape. I didn't really have a good way to clamp it in my saw, until recently.

Today's quick cut and polish of a Richardson's Ranch thunderegg.

Progress has been good on the restoration of the vintage Lortone FL20 vibratory lap! If you want to see what it looked like when I got it just go back a few posts.

Episode 15: June 1979 – Previously Rockhounding

We're starting 1979 off with lots of new and interesting ads including a very unconventional ad from Lortone, lots of field trips and some surprisingly wise and useful advice from the Frantic Fumbler. We also discuss how not to give directions to a location (trash cans are not timeless landscape features), and the science behind iris agates.
