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.

Sorry? What fer'! This is one of our favorite threads.
 No problem at all.Yes that is a claim that one of our friends owns called the Dreamtime mine. Many world class pieces have been mined there. The combo piece Jesse is holding is a killer one which is from a different claim nearby called the Blue on Black.....also well known for many fine pieces.  We did have the privilage of digging there last year for the spring outing when Jim visited but that was a specially arranged dig and at this time we don't have another in the planning............yet.  Just amazing how many different things can be found around that area. Dang it! Everytime I read this thread I just wanna' head off diggin'! But can't!!

I don't know how many good places you guys have to dig out there but I must say I am blessed by living where I do in ATL because I have access to all these awesome places to dig within 3 hours of me at bthe most. That includes North carolina too. I am sure CO has more places than you can count, though

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!

The Dreamtime has always been just that, a dream of Quentins. If one doesn't give up on their dreams, anything is possible.
Keep shooting for the stars Quentin, your almost there!  Here is a pic of a few more goodies mined in the past from the Dreamtime.  Picture with my hand to show size comparison.....  What a SWEET sight!   -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

 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.

It is a great claim, Quentin is a very lucky man!
Here is a picture of me digging after he loosened the dirt a bit for me with the tractor. Dan pointed out to me that it looks like I have a big vug under my butt.....

The Colorado Prospector club members do have an invite to this claim this year yep and the details on that will be posted soon. We'll all have to pin down a date for that as well. Check the protected club members forum section for those updates soon.
The Dreamtime mine has produced some sweet specimens and continues to give up some world class mind boggling pieces too. Everyone will have a great time!  -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
