I would LOVE to see some pics.

I live in Indiana and was at the Kelly Mine last year and found ONE.

I had a great adventure

Not too far from Kelly, I did several contract jobs in Socorro on top of the big mountain. It's off limits due to explosive testing both by the mining school and the military. Amazing what's up there in terms of military stuff. That mountain would be a great adventure if it ever opens up.
The Kelly mine is one of those places on one of my burners.
There is also a rock shop not too far by NM standards in Bingham that sells Trinitite (sp) The mineral that was made in the first atomic test at the Trinity site. It's still radioactive they say.

Those are great pictures ChileNM. Did the car survive?
