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

[Julie Siebel]

Hah! I think I figured out what I'm going to do...

It's a lot easier to find a cool micro, so I'll get 'em a micro and a decent 
loupe.

I've been running across some pretty good gold micromounts for $6-$25...at 
that price, I could get 'em two.
