Dean & Keith,
Perhaps the problem is the interpretation
of the word, "flake," as in "picking up a flake of

This can be interpreted as:
1) picking up any little bit
2) picking up a piece of flaked tool or piece of debutage
made of LDG

So, archaeology ~smarkeology, lets get back to meteorite topics and

I agree with Gregory on this. Bid the max you're willing to pay. Sometimes
when I'm at the edge of my budget I'll pass on a few auctions. Only to find
