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.

 I thought someone would say something about those amazing Smokey Quartz crystals.  Maybe a huge Goethite will get a reply.  This has got to be the largest Goethite I have ever seen! Another sweet find from Quentin.
I bet your thinking the same thing I am right now.........."Wow, I want to go there and dig!" If your a CP club member, you will soon get the chance to go.  Look for details posted in the club members protected section of the forum soon.
