LOL thanks guys, Doctor Mud came over for our well deserved catchup & a beer or 2--many.  Wasnt too hard to get him to have a go with my CP710 and see the new prep area.

 

We also hit the beach this morning, what an interesting day it was..  I think I spend more time lying on my back waiting for the sports drinks to kick in ;)

 

Not too bad on the way down.. and a good day to stay away from the cliff face, the bigger rock on the beach in centre of photo came down while we were watching it.

Was a great night! Who says beer and power tools don’t mix :rolleyes: I really liked @6ix setup, lighting and extractor fan. The CP710 is a nice scribe and @6ix trusted me with some of his projects he has on the go. I don’t get to prep very often these days, so I Had a huge smile on my face.

Sure hope you can get stylus tips for it. I reckon it is about on par with the ME9100. Maybe not quite as powerful.

 

I have other crabs from our previous trip to post, but I have been on a mission to find a small tumido, like @RJB Tiny Tim the

Tumido 

 

heres what hat I found today: 3 inches across at the widest point. Some wear in places but everything is there.

Its small, but one of my favourite finds. The smallest one I’ve found in all my time searching. The rain helped with spotting this one!

I belive you have found Tiny Tim the Tumido's little brother,,,, Tiny Tony the Tomido.  The concretion that Tim is in measures 3 1/2 inches.  Looks like some very nice preservation too!   Tiny Tim had lots of problems with hollow legs.  Im wondering if you will run into the same problem?   Good luck though.

Tiny Tony the Tumido, I like it!

 

Dark brown Shell is usually a good sign. Don’t know why but I have really wanted to find a little guy. Sure is easier to haul up the hill!

Think this will be a job for the microjack when I next get a chance to prep.
