Thanks buddy!

Hatch NM green Chile, Big Jim variety. HOT😅 roasted 55lbs last weekend, diced 15lbs and canned it. A little vinegar and sugar added. I put it on most everything I eat.

Crabbing…

I just bought a new laptop, so now I get to bill clients while in my “outside” office.

Hand gathered slag 5/8”

My “outside” office.

Yep, this is my happy place, far-away from reality. I work from home, and my desk is covered with marbles. So far, I have refrained from billing clients for time spent playing with marbles.🥴🥴

The 3rd pic shows a “crease”, which SBs video said was a tell for CAC. No tail present. the size is what had me put them in the MFC section.

Handgathered?

I watched SBs video on slags, working thru my stuff. I’ve had these 2 with my MFC mibs, but now I’m questioning it. No pronounced tails, but “seams/creases”. to add to it, the left is 1-1/16”, and the right is 1”. How common are large CAC slags?

Nice orange single stream, can trace it from start to finish.

I want a couple of these…can’t make out the writing.

Here is the slag marble video link. Stephen has a bunch of marble vids that great to learn from.

Welcome! The first one is a killer slag! Size? It always helps to list the size when you post pics for ID.

I need to go back thru ALL my handgathered slags, never looked for CAC.

That’s a real poser for sure…👍

Al, do you have a pic of the bags that were at the Portland show? I forgot to take a pic for akoorka.

From Marblealans ID on buymarbles.

Yes, but you are not allowed to own one🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

Late entry… the Spider-Man is a full 7/8”

How big??? Isn’t that always your first question Art???🙃🙃

I received a small wood box of marbles when my second MIL passed away. They were Vacor meteors. It all went south after that, been collecting for 25+ years. I am more a hunter, preferring to collect what I find in the wild.

I admit to being a Hatch green chili fanatic, having grown up in Albuquerque. We used to buy 50lb lots of fresh roasted “Big Jim’s”. Bag it in smaller lots for salsa and rellenos. Our local Town-and-country in Poulsbo, Wa has an annual hatch green Chile event in the fall where you can buy it fresh roasted in 25lb lots. when working with hatch Chile, make sure you wear protective gloves, you can get burned easily. (For the guys, make sure you go to the bathroom before you start peeling the skins. Speaking from experience🤣)
