Fossil-Hound Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 @jcbshark this is a truly amazing find. Usually when you do find cool stuff like this you won't get a two-in-one deal and you certainly have the complete package. Wow! Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 You knew those were winning finds when you pulled them out of the water. Whether or not we validated those finds with a VFOTM attribution they were always going to find a special place in your display cabinet. Congrats on the win and membership to the FOTM club. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
