Ash Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Well done, Skye! Probably the best part of moving to Aus so far, right?

Jesuslover340 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 5 minutes ago, Ash said: Well done, Skye! Probably the best part of moving to Aus so far, right? Nah, I found a keeper for a life partner But this comes close Thanks everyone-this is my first vertebrate win, and not for lack of trying There's been some tough competition out there! And Ash is right, this was a particularly exciting find! Funny thing is, I was arbitrarily stating how I would love to find a croc jaw with teeth all season, despite the ridiculous odds.... And now we've found that what Ash was hoping for all season was found not twenty meters away from this find at about the same time... It was left in a plaster jacket due to the advice of others indicating it was something more mundane until the other day when we found out it was anything but !!! But until it is prepped to see the light of day, I will reveal no more! Thanks again everyone, and congrats to the other contestants for their impressive finds!

Surprised so many know how to properly spell my name It is nice that such a small detail is known by members I have known for so long on the Forum that I would consider them friends-and it is proof such a sense is not blindly founded "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."-Romans 14:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
