Sand Sample Preparation:

1. My samples are all washed with several changes of water, unless the sample would be destroyed.

2. I make sure my samples contain only sand size particles by putting them through a number 10 mesh seive. Most silt and clay particles are removed by washing.

3. My sample locality information is correct. I use a GPS when I collect the samples or obtain the Latitude & Longitude from online computer maps.

4. I supply complete data and a locality map for the samples I ship to the collectors I trade with.

5. The numbers on my samples always remain the same. So! #1220 on a new list was #1220 on the old list. This makes it much simpler to keep track of which of my samples you have received in the past.

Info on the Following Pages:

You can access the sample site maps for samples in two ways, by sample Number or by State/Country.

Page 3. Contains my trading list with most of the information for the samples. If you click on a sample number you will see a Google Map of that sample location. The Google Map is centered on the sample site, zoom out to see where that site is in reference to cities, beaches, etc.

Page 4. Contains the Locality maps for most of the states. If you click on the Individual State/Country you open a large map that shows the locations of all the samples from that State/Country, the states in Gray do not have sample sites.
