The family and I took a trip to a friend of ours claim.
He has found some great things such as large smokey quartz crystals, Goethite, large fluorites, Amazonite and much more. Most all have come in combos also. Very Nice!! Here are some pics of Dan and I digging our own hole there.

Sorry about bumping this one back up but great thread! This is the place Jim had told me he went to. Does somebody own this claim and let other dig on it for a fee? I saw the first pics and was wondering where the backhoe was as digging down 10 feet is mighty tough work but then I saw later in the thread the backhoe I guess the owner uses.. The piece the guy is holding to the camera with the single smokey attached to the amazonite is an awesome spec.

That piece is definately amazing, I was lucky enough to be right there when he (Jason) pulled it out. One could almost smell the adrenaline flowing from the dig that day!
