Thanks for the "heads up" Mccartney. I think I will wait for the ones you and
Sonny collected before the snow. No use taking any chances on rusting issues.

> Sonny and I were at Buzzard Coulée the week it fell, as you all know. We

> I returned as the snow melted in April. I alone recovered hundreds of stones,
> giving half to the landowner, I still had over 2kg. These post winter stones
> were submitted for exportation as well.

> The Export Tribunal repeatedly delayed export and lumped the early permit
> with the later permit, then delayed both again and lumped those permit apps
> with other export apps from other hunters.

> Finally, the Tribunal noted that there was a good deal of material so the
> very late permit apps are apparently getting approved with no hold-back
> delays. Hence, Geoff Notkin and others have received their stones.
