    Sorry about that Rita! A snickers bar for a Magno Macchiato seems like a fair trade though. [​IMG]

    Snickers.....oh man! I did some research and find that the magnetic test is not always conclusive evidence. Some steel is not magnetic (most is), and some pyrite can be magnetic, depending on the iron content and other elemental factors. So if those little guys did not attract the magnet, what do we conclude? Did iron pyrite win the bet?

    Nicole, you and I can still kill a few shots of Boodles.....:)

    There are easy ways to tell. But maybe we'll let this ride a little longer, since I'm still hoping to raise enough toward our Bar/Pub fund.

    Well, if this isn't decided yet, I've been with marcasites since I started reading this thread about 5 minutes ago! What's the bet to get into the action?

    Two bucks is the cover charge Anne, however, five bills will buy you a drink at the bar.

    Well, since DH & I just spent all our money on our anniversary weekend (which included antique & vintage shopping today!), I'll put in for $2 and up it by a buck, for $3. (Had my quarterly Bloody Mary last night at dinner--LOL....)

    If we can raise one million by tonight, everyone gets a free car.
