    Default Help! Can anyone identify these stones?..

    Hello all!

    I went to a farm auction today and bought a box of stuff. These were in the box! Can anyone help me identify the stones??

    The one with the label is blue, one without is grey, the short one is green and the other 2 are labeled.

    Hope you didn't have to pay much for them!
    If you want to send me that junk axe-grinding stone with the label stuck to it, I could pay your postage and $5 to at least help you recoup SOME of your loss......

    Yes, I can help identify them. They are the infamous "farmhouse fakes" . Interpol has been looking for these babies for several decades now. Fortunately, I have intimate links with Interpol, so if you send them to me I'll make sure they end up in the right hands, "no questions asked"...

    Dirty bugger comes to mind for me as well, you lucky duck! Good job. What a total score. That's coming from one HAddict to another. If I saw and won that box of stuff, I think I'd have to be helped along back to the car; my knees would be weak and wobbly.

    I swear, I should pay you a monthly fee for your services on retainer. That way you could scout for me! That's what I need, sharpening stone scouts!

    well for as long as I have known Randy I have come to a few conclusions.

    1.He has no conscience
    2.He has an eye for a bargain
    3.He is the only man I know who would take 'cheap ' as a compliment.

    Gentlemen this is the flea market yard sale expert, if theres a bargain there he will most definately find it...he could fall into a bucket of s.h.i.t and pop up smelling of roses.
    He also has enough hones he could build a house out of them!!!!

    On the good side there isnt much he doesnt know about this game, if you need to find anything about hones, he can tell you, he is also a great teacher, taught me how to hone on skype of al things....nice score as always randy...i do HATE YA....LOLOL.

    Randy, I will be more than happy to help you identify these stones. Please send them to my address and after proper evaluation I will report back. I see there are few that are already labeled, so if you are content with the information on the labels, you need not include them.
