Thanks Jim, he really is into prospecting for his age.
Here are a few family X-mas presents that were made from that last one pictured. Each of the guys in the family now will have a piece made from Timmy's first t-egg cuts, all the way from Grandpa, me, his brother and him all got one. Grandpa gets the keychain since he's not a jewelry wearing person, brother gets the teardrop pendant, and he got the hexagon pendant. He thought that it was very neat to have these going to the family for presents this year that were made from his finds.  I'm getting a very cool thin guitar pick for my piece which isn't in the picture. All the pieces cut so far look to have the iris effect but we haven't caught an actual iris rainbow yet.......more cuts to come though, these were some large pieces to cut.   Here is another pic of two whole eggs (grade AA mediums)  that we found that same day. Can't wait to see what's inside them too, but a bigger saw will be needed.
