    How often do you look for Cummingtonite?

    Do you prefer your searches in the day or night? Do you need more if you find enough during the day?

    Is there ever enough? Is it an endless search?

  • OK... I'm already working on a script for a movie called "Cummingtonite."

    I have a catchline to go after that but I'm not sure if I can get another "foul language" warning point.

    I think you can get up to 3 before you get 'time out'...we have some experts in here...experts? can I get some confirmation?

    warnings mean nothing....if they want to ban you, they will regardless of points

    so the numbers don't mean anything?

    so in order to mine cummingtonite, do you need other people or can you just pan for it by yourself?

    Any properly schooled Geologist will tell you that there are times when cummingtonite is hard to come by, so you take it no matter how you can get it.

    you can be banned without warnings, but if you have 3 concurrent warnings, that equals a permanent ban.
