My Rocks From Abandoned and Forgotten Places?

 I like to support the adventures of exploring mines at Abandoned and Forgotten Places via their eBay page - hidden.treasures.abound. 



Below are rocks that I won the bid on at eBay at their page of hidden.treasures.abound.



I think these (above and below) are long crystal pyrite. I think it is really neat looking. I have them in a bowl on display in my house. 


I believe this (above and below) is obsidian rock. It looks really neat. I believe this is the rock they make different things from; cutting tools, arrow heads, etc..








I think this is the fluorite? I am not sure of the name. I think it glows under UV light? I think it is way cool. I was lucky to win the bid on this. 

This is one of the papers that came with the rocks that I won a bid on. It has his name / signature on it. I think this makes it extra cool. 


I totally forgot what this is but it is really cool looking and they are really big; bigger than the other rocks. It seems a lot but there are two photos for each rock. I used the photos to be part of giving a positive review for the seller on eBay.






These are from different items that I bid on at eBay. I think it is way cool since these are things they found while doing the exploring of the minds. The items were up for bids at different times and not during the same week. As one can see in the photo, they are very well packed. They were shipped soon after I won the bid on them (there were many others that I didn't win the bid on but what I lose they gain - the higher bids going to support them in their exploring). 


I am posting this since their mode of transportation - Old Bob - is in need of being repaired and they need the funds to repair it. A great way is to go to their eBay page and big on items. This way you can support them and get something in return - assuming you win the bid (I am also bidding on different items too). 


I don't know how many actually read my blogs but I am hoping there are enough readers to really challenge me in bidding for these items. It would be so cool to be outbid for them; especially if it means it is a gain for Gly and Laura (the two explorers on the channel).

Tortola - Fantasy Banknotes

Image
  Currently I am into fantasy banknotes; especially ones with a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them (it would be neat to see some with Lady Di on them but have not found them, yet). I found these on eBay with the search words ' fantasy banknotes ' (some of them were kind of 'revealing').  This one is Tortola . I thought it was made up but it seems it does exist. I don't know if they have their own banknotes but it would be cool if they looked like these. I think these look and feel like current European banknotes. I think they are really well done. I think these are really well done. One can see a really nice picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. The other is that it was reasonably priced; i.e.., I could afford them. I believe this is the front of the banknotes. Here are the back of the banknotes. I think it looks really nice. I think it is very well done.  There are other sites that sell fantasy banknotes. I have a

Book On George Washington Carver By Tonya Bolden

Image
          I found a book on the life of George Washington Carver  (Wikipedia link). It was not overly detailed but it does talk about his life and accomplishments. I think there are some really nice illustrations and photos in it.           I think it is great for those who want to learn about George Washington Carver but might not have a lot of time to read about him or just have a passing interest in him.           It was an easy read and it was also informative. It could lead someone to read more about him. I have an ebook on him that has more details about his life (subject of another post / blog).          I found it at the Thriftbooks (they have a lot of books at great prices) for a great price (not many left at the site - just click on the link). They have other books  (link on a search using his name) on him too.  Even the back of it is really nice. It has a photo of George Washington Carver.          One can also get it at Amazon  (Amazon link). They have a pretty good price

Barbuda - Fantasy Banknotes

Image
  I think that I might have gotten carried away; especially on fantasy banknotes that have a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. I have found some like this on eBay .  One of these are the Barbuda fantasy banknotes. I think they are really cool looking and look so real; like European ones that they have now. I thought it was a place that didn't exist but it seems that it does; Barbuda . I do not know if they have their own money but it would be cool if it looked like this.  I think it looks really neat. I like how it has a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. I think this is the front of them.  I believe this is the bank of them. It feels like the current banknotes from Europe.  I got them from eBay using the search words ' fantasy banknotes '. There was a lot of fantasy banknotes there (some were rather revealing).  There are websites that carry fantasy banknotes. I have some of them listed in my post about Aldabra Islan
