[Rockhounds] Boodle Lane

[Pmodreski at aol.com]

I just checked in the classic book by Peter Bancroft, "Gem and Crystal  
Treasures" (1984).  Chapter 7 in it, pp.38-41, is about the Joplin  district.  It 
includes a cropped version of that same picture of Boodle  Lane with the big 
calcite "teeth" above him.  Bancroft's chapter includes  modern color photos of 
galena and hemimorphite from there, but no calcite.

Larry,
First time I have heard the name Boodle Lane in many  years.  He was already
a legend when I got into collecting in the  '40's and about 10 or 12 years
ago I got a flat of galenas wrapped in 1944  newspapers that had Boodle Lane
labels with them.  They sold right out  in the first couple of shows.
