[Rockhounds] Orytics - a new discussion group devoted to historical issues

[betdav97 at aol.com]

Hi,
  I joined it as WVfossils, mainly out of curiosity, plus I keep
old labels. One label in the collection dates back to the mid
1860's from Germany. It is the only specimen I have with
four labels, each new owner added his own, but kept the
origanal with the specimen so it has a history. Cool.
Dave
