Jody and Ali found a marvellous sight!
Drawers of treasures from times gone before
Riches untold and oh! so much more
What did we find? Well, many cool things
Diamonds and rubies and settings for rings
Agates and opals and old rubber bands
Cuff links and staplers and rings for small hands
Bug bits and notions and Bigg's Picture Jasper
Some things were crap but one was a gasper!
We swiped a few things, and I cut an agate
We left out a potful for Michael to gag at
The hunt was most fruitful and all were in rapture
At the things in the basement that we did encapture.
Some sort of composite agate thing. My favourite by far.
Sneaky Jody preparing to delve the depths of the secret drawers of fun. (By the way, this is part of a collection that Ali and Mike bought from an old guy's wife after he died. He was a life-long rock hound and jewelry maker.)
Sneaky Ali with inspection lamp at the ready. Keep in mind, people! These drawers haven't been opened in at least 30 years.
A capsule with a diamond and a ruby in it.
Nice bit of pink rockie goodness of some sort.
A teeny weeny diamond.

Nice find! I would have had a little fit as each drawer was opened. Reminds me of going through boxes in the hallway closet at Nana's house when we were little. That stuff was just old junk, but it is still so exciting to 'discover' all that cool stuff!
Jealous I am.
I had a fit with each drawer in your absence, and thought of you a lot as we dug through it. Honestly, it was SO exciting! Like hunting for eggs. :)
And hardly any of it was junk. There were tonnes of little opals ready to be set in jewelry, and quite a few diamonds. Noice...
Really nice little fine. Ali and Mike have a good eye for treasure.
