[Rockhounds] Old Gold: Need small, reasonably priced mineral sample.

[John Siebel]

BTW - we're driving from northern Idaho to central Montana (Lewistown) so 
any collecting site suggestions along the way would be appreciated. We 
expect to hit Crystal Peak for quartz, Calvert Hill for epidote and Butte 
for barite on the way back.
