Welcome to CapistranoMining.com

I will be in Tucson from February 9th thru the 13th. I am going as buyer this year, not a seller. Hopefully I will be bringing back some amazing specimens. So any orders placed before February 8th, will be shipped before I leave. Any order placed from the 9th thru the 13th, will be shipped upon my return.
