The coal and petrified wood are here at my home, as is the brick (Jim Sleeper was into old bricks, by the way).<br />I have some interesting stuff from the Holtz Ranch but it's at my AZ home. I want to bring a particular item to one of the OCHS's meetings and see if anyone can tell me what it is (I know but I doubt if anyone can guess correctly). Has your curiosity been piqued? lolMBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-84851501877216331212013-12-10T19:56:36.634-08:002013-12-10T19:56:36.634-08:00MB: You HAVE all that stuff?!?

(Well, I guess I'm *slightly* less excited by the brick, but even that's pretty good.) <br /><br />Maybe you can show me where to find Carbondale coal sometime. I assume there are still mine tailings somewhere?<br /><br />Show & Tell is definitely NOT about selling, trading, or attaching values,... But personally, I would pay real money for such a miner's lamp. I know I'm a history nerd, but I find that enormously cool.Chris Jepsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207321906121901004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-80520156793510099662013-12-10T18:04:14.694-08:002013-12-10T18:04:14.694-08:00Or a brass carbide miner's lamp from the Blue ...Or a brass carbide miner's lamp from the Blue Light Mine.
