Hi John and list, now this is the type of questions that should be on our list!!! I to want to hear the answers to John's questions too. I never quite thought about it! Having hunted GB many times, I have to wonder if any of the strewn fields data is strewn field data or nothing more than rock movement data? I wonder how many GB finds are actually where they landed, I bet, not many? I know Bob V. will have these answers! Thanks, Tom Peregrineflier <>< Yea, that's right, The proudest member of the IMCA # 6168
