Title: Hello from Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. Rockhound and mad cabber.
Post by: Ricardo Furioso on October 18, 2021, 09:50:03 PM

Hi.
I guess you can call me Ricardo Furioso, my name is Rich.
I live with the love of my life, a once-and-future jeweler named Mary, here in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.
We love to chase rocks all around northern New Mexico, and find agates, jaspers, obsidian, an occasional arrowhead, and sometimes we even remember to look up and notice the sky.
Mary signed me up for a weekend cabbing class in Albuquerque and I just loved it. I just got a very beat up Highland Park trim saw and hope to get it working.
I look forward to participating here any way I can.
Rich
aka Ricardo Furioso

Welcome, neighbor!

Well - neighboring state, anyway. We're in the Prescott, AZ area.

Welcome from Arizona!  I"m a UNM grad -- long ago -- but used to love visits to Santa Fe.  I recall hanging around the La Fonda Hotel, admiring the Old Pawn turquoise pieces.  I'm sure I wouldn't recognize S.F. today but it holds good memories.

Welcome from the Pacific Northwest. Southern New Mexico has lots of surprises and is relatively uncollected. To be successful there you need to do research  first.
