Right!

When you consider all the time I have logged at Glorieta, I have given them
away at $8 per gram.  Over the 18 years that I have searched, the thousands
of miles, the hiking shoes wasted (50-60) the injuries, and metal detectors
ruined-- is it worth it.  You better love to hike-- because that is about
the only joy you wil get out of it until you find one.  And it is the big
ones that drove me on.  I have a 1.59 kilo, pallasitic mass, and a 2.7 kilo
siderite, the latter I have listed at $5 per/gram.  But I have reconsidered
its sale, and have decided to take it off my list.

All the others I have sold and that leaves me with only one left--
81 grams @ $7 per/gram. 


After that one is gone there will be no more from me-- At 48 and going
on 49, my love of hiking has diminished.  My mind wants to go, but my
body hesitates.  I leave Glorieta to younger bucks.
