Hi Michael, Fare thee well in the New Year.
With reverence towards the enduring patience of the Angel that
enlightens
the rarest amongst us, I would more easily believe that neither of the
Southerners would lie than that Cap'n Blood would not muck it up. You
certainly are not to deny whatever you cannot account for. I salute you
with respect due all list members.

Yo Doug and all,
Well, then, Doug, either you are not telling the truth
Or the person who sold the two stones was not telling the truth.
I was part of that auction (as a bidder, not the auctioneer) and
was told these were the circumstances and then the results of the
auction.
(This was well after you had implied to me you had the
barn stone, yourself firmly and stated it wasn't for sale,
period.)
This, after I had asked about it twice earlier in about a
3 week period, you SPECIFICALLY stated:
Let's try this again - I will clarify it for you. When I last told
you
the stone was not going anywhere anytime soon, it was intended
to get to the bottom line: THE STONE IS ABSOLUTELY NOT
FOR SALE. There is nothing more to talk about.
When I said I wasn't interested in talking about it (but if you
insist...) - but was trying to be a nice guy responding to your barrage
of tenacity and insistence, it was because IT IS NOT FOR SALE. The
situation will be the same in Tucson.
Perhaps I was foolish to read the above as you having the
stone
(which I had asked twice), as it certainly sounded like it to me. In
fact,
It sounds SO MUCH like that that I can only conclude your intentions
Were, in fact, meant to mislead me into thinking
1) you had it and
2) You were not going to sell it under any circumstances -
NEITHER of which were true. Apparently you thought it would keep
me away from further inquiring in other directions which would leave the
door open for you getting it later. I really don't know any other way to
read your above statements. Otherwise, why not just ORIGINALLY state
I don't have it?
So, now is difficult to determine what you mean, exactly
when
you state, Michaels quoted statement is inaccurate as, once again, you
Evade directness in communicating about the barn stone.
Now, if my statement regarding the auction of the barn hammer
and
the stone that fell at the feet of the witness was inaccurate, perhaps
you
would enlighten us SPECIFICALLY as to what, EXACTLY in my statement,
was not true?
Are you saying the two stones were not auctioned off together?
Are you saying they sold for a different price than I quoted?
Are you saying the person in the barn is not the same person
that saw
a stone land near his feet?
Are you saying their combined weight was not approximately 51g?
What EXACTLY are you saying when you state, Michaels quoted
statement is inaccurate?
Please do enlighten us.
Michael

Michael's quoted statement is inaccurate. (Kindly note that my comment
and his quote are both unrelated to the stone being sold in the ad).
Many nice collectors asked me about this, and I am sorry my own
challenges didn't allow me to answer most. I had nothing to do with
the
sale, and am now crying my eyes out over the billowin' crinolines on
Maryann's flip side.
Kindest wishes in the New Year,
Doug

STONE
Greetings all,
I now own the only House Hitter hammer stone from the
Ash Creek fall. If you recall, there were two grave yard stones,
One damn stone, one barn stone and one house stone.
( The barn stone was coupled with the stone that fell at
the feet of the barn owner who at first thought his girlfriend
Was teasing him by tossing a rock near him - The two stones
Which together totaled about 51grams, sold in an ad hoc auction
by phone. The Winning bidder paid $4,600 for the two. The seller
Would not sell either separately).
While I certainly would love to keep this entire house hitter,
My finances demand I sell it. I could make more cutting it up,
but it is one of the more impressive specimens I have seen and
Will be heartbroken if I have to slice and dice this beauty. Note
The embedded grit of the roof shingle on the face of the stone.
It is 124 gr. See it here from 4 different angles:

Serious offers only, please. Off line, of course.
Best wishes, Michael
