    Those are uchigumori pieces, I'm not sure if it's rockhounding. But most of the Jnats on ebay are obviously collected this way, and of course sold in the prices of the vintage flawless ones.

    before there was diamond and carbide blades rock was cut using a wheel that would pick up sand and the sand would cut the stone. I have read that in text but never seen any diagrams to show it. Perhaps that is part of the history channel set up also. I would really like to tour Ardenes and have a chance to get a close look at their old tools.

    That would be so cool, but I am working. I need to save my holidays for the spring as two of my daughters are graduating from university. I do work an unusual shift and can travel on my days off.
