With all our photos taken, it was time to start the split. At this point, I dropped a bomb and told the guys of my decision to let them take home all of their specimens. There would be no split. I figured each of them had earned everything they'd found. It was heartwarming to see them all so surprised and happy.
I'd like to thank the guys one and all, Keith, Adam and Caleb, you were all just the very best. We had a great time and I'd do it all again without hesitation or reservation.
Take care everyone and wherever you collect, remember to be careful and most of all, to have fun!
All the very best,
sincerely,
John
