    For all metric lovers out there, a mole has a mass of about 88 grams. Multiply it by 10 to get its weight and the result is 0,88N. Now multiply it by 40 to get its strenght and the result is about 35N.

They are finding me volcanic rock's, rocks from 2,O00,000 years ago, (When this area was nothing but active Volcanic activity, and 1,000,000 million years ago when this area was lake. I found one which had some sort of fossilised fish or scorpion tail not sure. I do not know if I'm getting lucky, or the earths magnetic field is bringing them up.
