It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: maidenwell mine
There are several auctions but all are fines or dust. I reckon the fines would be ok.
I am considering bidding on one like this
http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0079-700 ... ulker-bags
But 24 bulker bagds is alot to get picked up and then stored

Re: maidenwell mine
yep, wouldn't quite fit in the back of the Laser
it's only a bargain if you can use it or sell it for more ... so after transportation, storage, sorting/rebagging, postage etc. even a group buy could get kinda messy but sounds like there's plenty who buy in

Re: maidenwell mine
Hey sorry I didnt post link of page but seems you all found it pretty well. Bulker bags would be great buy, but it all depends whether it is all fired and ready for use.

Hi owieo86, it's my understanding that Diatomite is not actually fired, so should be ready for useowieo86 wrote:Hey sorry I didnt post link of page but seems you all found it pretty well. Bulker bags would be great buy, but it all depends whether it is all fired and ready for use.
(might need to be dried out though to make it lighter, given recent wet weather events?)Cheers, Ryan
