    Kinda cool.

    IF it can be proven to be Trinity A-bomb glass and not just some glass melted in a fire.

    I guess this "Trinitrite" is natural glass that was actually formed by the sand, from the heat of the blast?


    I've been gathering some interest in WW2 (and WW1) relics lately. Don't ask me why. I don't think I will ever start collecting them, but I do find it interesting to read about people finding pieces of lost equipment (and aircraft, etc.) on long-silent battlefields. Being a relic hunter of Civil War and Revolutionary War sites with my detector, I suppose an interest in the two World Wars is not that farfetched. As the WW2 generation dies out, this stuff will become more sought-after, I would imagine.

    Interesting. Two weeks ago there was a model of "Liitle Boy" signed by Paul Tibbits and his navigator. Paul passed away last week. R.I.P.

    You'd be correct in your guess. The heat from the blast was so hot that it immediately melted all the sand surrounding the area. I'm no expert... I just watch Discovery Channel image

    There's literally tons of the stuff out there, I'd imagine. The only limit to the available quantity is the accessibility of the stuff (being as it's only at military nuclear test sites). Kind of neat, but for such a small sample, I'd probably not bother to buy it.
