8th Annual Auction Meeting
January 2019
The annual January auction meeting was a big success! There were many enticing items and some incredible bargains. With only one junior present, the junior items went quickly and there were some real gems in those lots!
Among the lots that brought some serious bidding were some metal detectors, a stupendous specimen of stibnite, and a very large specimen of petrified palm wood. Charles ended up with a pair of giant shorts plus pajamas, and I won some sewer selenite.
Many thanks to Kim Cochran for once again setting up a wild and crazy auction and for being the consummate auctioneer!
