RE: Wild Bill Hickok: His Legend Begins
Interesting Man; facing a shotgun with a pistol is risky. Letting him close, just makes that risk worse!
BTW; what plaid shirt did you pick?
:D

haha! I always were my green one to the fair why what do you wear to the fair?
Quit going to the fair with her in a wheelchair. Just too much work. The Tulsa fair covers about 80 acres, so it is hard to cover on foot, especially pushing a wheelchair!
:'(whoa smithlabs! that's huge. I don't even know if they have county fairs down here, I'm sure they do but I haven't seen any advertised.
Well Tulsa is a half a Million people. It is winding up again, late September, or Early October. It is a half mile by a mile, so If you come, plan to do some walking.
But like I said, we seldom go to the fairgrounds, and then usually for gun shows or gem shows.
:Dgood grief smithlabs! that thing is giganic. they have gem shows? I bet the security is good there.
Most of the gems are NOT worth stealing, ROFLOL! But, if you know what you are looking for, there are some deals. The cultured pearl that need stringing are priced well.
I found some Chrome Diopsides that the guy had placed in with simulants; which made them VERY cheap. Got them home, and tested them, and they are good quality natural stones!
I bought a Blue Sapphire ring in a platinum setting for $9 at a goodwill store! I am scared to get that one appraised.
:)haha! you're kidding me smithlabs, $9 ? oh man go get it appraised and do a post about the story, that would be great!
NO, You don't understand, Debbie claimed it; and she is armed, ROFLOL!But I did have one stone appraised. I bought 20 Princess cut (square) 4mm Garnett stones from overseas. I decided to practice with my refractometer, so I picked these stones for my practice (they were very red (High Saturation) stones, and are a little harder to read. I found one stone that was Wrong. Further tests told me it was red Sapphire (ruby); and a VERY dark (Pigeon Blood) Ruby color
I took it in, and showed him my test results, he looked at it under a microscope, then looked it up in his price chart and told me that unmounted, it was worth $2300.00. I had paid $0.05 for that stone, Made a Little profit on that one.
