Right (as I said in my first message)! If you are combing Holbrook or Gold
Basin strewfields the cane may be useful; besides, what you will recover
has anyhow not a tremendous scientific value. But the thrill of research
and hunting is also to have a chance to find something unexpected. If you
narrow your selection to only "the material that sticks" you may loose the
Lafayette sister that was hiden among your L/LL strewnfield...
