True..the poster might be more interested in birdwatching instead of stones.....and is currently trying to get Bill Oddie to verify a possible Great Auk sighting...and can't be bothered to follow up on the question he(she) posed in the first place...but you have to admit it does leave us with our slight interest rather hanging on as there appears to be no follow up or response.

As an aside...I have a curio (bronze and differently identified by those who see it)...found due to vandals ripping up EH property on BMX bikes....and am more than willing to let it go under glass....but have had NO response from local museums(or The British Museum for that matter)...Shall I start a thread?.
