[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 422705, member: 1604"] You can thump them or slap them with your hand. When they lose that "metallic" sound they are getting close to ripe. Also, look at the white underneath where it is laying on the ground, when that changes to a cream color or looks yellowish, it's ripe. You may have to bust a few open at first to see which ones have ripened but you'll get the hang of it. Oh, and they also lose that shiney luster when they get ripe. Get a dull look. [/QUOTE]
