Lockman... you may not realize how fast you made a name for yourself, and are now relied upon for these quick IDs... You may never be allowed to leave TreasureNet!



Good job.

Good job.

Yeah, the guy is good (thanks for my lock ID's). Wonderful how much knowledge congregates on these boards ! Without them, we would just have "old stuff".
