I remember the kid in a candy store experience the first times going down there years ago. I would pick up 9 and 12 shards by the bag full and every 1871 type shard I found and chunks galore. Now I'm very selective and only bring back something I consider a particularly nice example. I still pick up nearly every jade slag chunk but limit other colors greatly. Found another large shard of the white milk woven basket. Sure would like to find a whole one in some antique mall! Not much to show for the trip down but you never know what you might find. |
