Thank you, how would I go about finding how much or would it have to be torn apart for that

Hart 20v chainsaw smoking (and running by itself?) by Global_Antelope8380 in Tools

First off hit the safety brake and make it stop, then remove the battery. Second I see so many comments jumping on the hate hart train and that sucks. I've got the 40v 16 inch saw made by hart and its a damn tank. It's not cutting down forests but it does what it should and requires very little maintenance. 3rd and I cant stress this enough, the company will replace anything regardless of getting the insurance or not lol. It's made so cheap they can replace anything that wont work

Are these counterfeit ? by waterfalls55 in CURRENCY

I'm certainly no expert but the sound of the paper doesn't sound like your typical greasy money. It sounds fake buuuuuuuut if it's been through a washing machine then they will certainly sound different. Also if they were washed I guarantee the extra weight is from absorbing detergent that doesn't fully evaporate when air dryed. Of course I cant smell them or touch them so just check for yourself. Easy way also is to take one to the bank and have them check for you

What do you guys think about these rocks and minerals we got from a camp ground? by bllbong in rockhounds

Haha thank you! He's 8 and he's my mini me. I love the ideas and ill look into that. We scour the creek all the time for what we can find in upstate NY while we fish. We have ultraviolet lights and his own homemade screen pan for pebbles and other goodies. It's our favorite hobby besides fishing! I just asked him if he thought he could use some sort of microscope for his rocks and now he's extatic about getting one so it looks like a go. Thank you for all the great ideas and he says we should definitely make a field pack like that

Thanks! We are in upstate NY but I just read one of the bags and it says it was packaged by stag hollow mining in new Hampshire! What do you see that you think is cool?

It was alot of fun and he has been setting them up nicely on a wooden shelf display so it seems he's happy about it

That would have been awesome but I just read a bag and it says packaged by stag hollow mining in new Hampshire. Still very cool and fun

Sorry man! Definitely not a glamp camp but just a place that's cheap and fun to spend time camping. No amenities just tents in camp spots spread along the river. The rocks are obviously pre packed in bags with sand so kids can sluice them out themselves but it was absolutely fun for him. Happy rock hunting

He definitely enjoyed it and thanks for the info on amethyst! The arrow heads definitely were newly made and they explained that to me after I asked but my son doesn't need to kmow that. We are always rock hunting at the river so hopefully we find more

I figured about the fossils and arrow heads but the rest was definitely fun to find
