Thank you for your reply. I will try to get by the site and see what is going on. As far as the pic, I'm not sure as I don't have a digital camara, but will see what I can do. I was told that the dig was covered thurs or fri, as this was an ongoing construction job and with no injuction to stop the work, it continued. I don't know if concrete was mixed in with the chips or not. I was planning to go by and see if it had been covered or not. Everyone seems to have about the same mix of chips, as though they were all thrown together in a bin or something, not seperated in boxes. Uniformly, the mix seems to be about 1-2 500a per 1000 chips, 1, 1a, 2.5, 2.5a about 10-15 per 1000. The photo is somewhat deceptive in that you can't see how much mud and rock are mixed in with the chips. Plus there are alot of broken chips mixed in. I've seen broken rings for the 500, but no inserts or complete chips. It's strange to me, this has not been in the local news at all that I've seen. We are a small town and it's been kept very quiet. - Frank
