So I have a good sized Micro-Mount collection.I was looking for something simple and inexpensive to store my Micro-Mounts in. Then in my local Wal-Mart I happened to look in the hardware section.There I found Rubbermaid storage cases with adjustable sized compartments. The case are completely clear so seeing the specimens and their vital Stats are extremely easy.And the best thing is the price: $4.47 each. Hear are some pics: -------------------- Todd C.

I am sure most were already aware of this.But for those(like myself)who didnt know,go into the aisle with fishing tackle boxes. They have Some Awesome Cases That Have Fully Adjustable And Customizable Compartments that are less then $5.00. Wal-Mart Seems To Be Turning Out To Be The Meteorite Collectors Friend. -------------------- Todd C.
