TRIP PLANNED FOR TUESDAY OCTOBER 17th
TO THURSDAY NOVEMBER 3rd:
From Stephen Buggie, Gallup NM.
I will be away on a trip to the Canadian East Coast
from Tuesday October 17th to Friday November 3rd.
Uranium rocks purchased from me during my absence
from home will be shipped out within 2-3 days of my
return home. Please wait patiently! Thank you,
Stephen Buggie, Bonanza seller; Gallup NM 87301
VARIETY URANIUM
ROCKS: THREE LBS
TOTAL WEIGHT
$22.22 plus $14.00 Shipping
These rocks are entirely from
Jurassic Canyon, 20 miles NW
from Grants NM. In the book,
Yellowcake Towns, GRANTS NM
was identified as, "URANIUM
CAPITAL OF THE WORLD."
These rocks were found at
Jurassic Canyon NM, 20 miles
NW from Grants NM.
This is the richest surface-level
uranium field in the entire USA!
The rock varieties include:
Uraninite (Pitchblende), Carnotite,
Coffinite, Tyuyamunite, and
Jurassic Todilto Limestone.
Of the three lb. total rocks,
1.5 lbs. will be LOW-LEVEL
radiation (3,000 - 5,000 CPM)
and 1.5 lbs. will be MID-LEVEL
radiation (6,000 - 19,000 CPM).
To get rocks of 20,000 CPM or
higher, you must purchase single
rocks from my sales collection.
When collecting the rocks in the
field, I NEVER save any rocks
that measure less than 3,000.
CPM, using a standard pancake
probe for measuring. It is
amazing that OTHER SELLERS
offer rocks for sale that are
even LESS radioactive than
3,000. CPM. EXAMPLE: Go to:
"Amazon / Radioactive Rock"
Someone there is offering a small
rock in a metal can, 984 cpm, for
$49.95 !!! In my expert
opinion, any rock with LESS
than 3,000. cpm response should
NOT even be labeled as
a uranium rock !
All rocks have been measured with
a Ludlum Model 2200 geiger
instrument, the most accurate
instrument for hobbiests.
MANY FREE EXTRAS ARE ENCLOSED:
Three DVD videos (in one box)
on uranium or radiation topics,
many papers, photos of the
uranium fields, brochures about
the local area in west-central
New Mexico.
INVITATION TO COLLECT MORE
ROCKS WITH ME AT THE
JURASSIC CANYON NM
I will keep half the found rocks,
and the visitor will keep the
remaining half. Rockhounding season
is from late-April to mid-November
each year.
If any RADIOACTIVE DINOSAUR
FOSSILS are found, I will keep
the first and third fossil, and the
visitor will keep the second and
fourth fossil found. (Summer 2021,
I found TWO radioactive juvenile
Velociraptor skull-fossils:
190,000. CPM and 99,000 CPM.)
NO URANIUM SALES ALLOWED
TO ANY OTHER COUNTRY.
This restriction is from
the Federal Nuclear
Regulatory Commission; also,
the USPS Post Office restricts
shipping any radioactive object
to any foreign country.
For shipping, the rocks are all
wrapped in protective metal foil,
and the wrapped rocks will be
enclosed either in a metal can
or in a metallic shielding bag.
SUGGESTION TO URANIUM
ROCK HOUNDS: JOIN ME SOON
TO COLLECT MORE ROCKS!
The underground mines at Jurassic
Canyon closed during the late 1980s,
because nuclear power had become
unpopular at that time. But today,
nuclear power has restored its
popularity among environmentalists,
mainly because it has NO carbon
content and it contributes nothing
to global warming. The underground
mining will resurrect, if/when the
world price of uranium reaches
$65.00 per lb. Currently, that
price is rising, and is approx.
$58.00. The town of Grants NM was
identified in Michael Amundson's
2002 book, Yellowcake Towns, as the
"Uranium Capital of the World." The
whole town of Grants is eager to see
the return of local prosperity when
the mines are re-opened again!
But uranium "rockhounds" should
arrange with me soon, to join me for
uranium rock-collecting; when the
mines re-open, tall fences around
them will exclude "rockhounds"
from the best rock-collecting sites!
It has now been two full years since
I have been out there collecting
rocks with visitors; join me now! My
first 14 of 35 trips to Jurassic
Canyon were done alone, but that is
risky because the uranium field is
inhabited by a few rattlesnakes; I
fear that, if I collect rocks alone
and get a snake bite, I might not be
able to drive the car the 20 mile
distance to the hospital in Grants.
During my past 35 multi-day rock-
collecting trips to the canyon,
I have seen ONLY ONE snake, and
others with me have seen ONLY
TWO snakes; no one got bit by any
snake. But I fear that if I am out
there alone, and get a snake bite, I
might be unable to drive my car
22 miles to the Grants hospital. I
need a companion when collecting
the rocks! On the last day of
a 3-5 day outing, I divide the
found rocks with the guest, 50-50
so we each get the same weight
of found rocks, at the end. If any
found rocks are radioactive dinosaur
fossils, those too are shared 50-50.
Arrange your rock-collecting visit!
