This may be too easy for this crowd. If you’re somebody who would obviously know the answer then hold off a minute and let there be some guesses………I know the answer....Do you? smile

One of those gypsy spiritual necklaces?

I'm not sure, but a cald is involved.

It is a prism, they are used to give you a basal area estimate. Come in different factors for different plot sizes.

I'm assuming it's for crusing timber since its been a popular answer.

But

How the hell is it used?

The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

It’s a very rare type of material known as cald glass. The government has known about it since the 70’s. I’m not allowed to say anything about how I came to acquire it…..

I got lost using a bonafide compass one time. I wouldn't leave my driveway with that rig!

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

You stand at the center of your cruising plot and use the prism to count how many trees in a 360 degree circle around you are considered to be “in” or “out”…..You then multiply the number of trees that are counted as "in" times 10 to get a basal area. The tree in my previous pick would be counted as in. If the offset were just a little more to the right then it would be out and not counted. Someone correct me if I got that wrong....it's been a while.
