Wrangellian Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Wow... This all from just 8 years of collecting, mostly self-collected? And I guess you're not yet done showing. Love the satisfaction of getting a new cabinet and filling it. What kind of stuff did you collect from just above the Iridium layer? Would like to see it if you have pics.
