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.

It was a little bit more of a tight hole for Dan though.

Eventually we will get deeper, and lazy and add a rope like Quentin did in his 18-20 foot (so far) hole.
 Now that steps a doozie!!We had a great time, and next time we go, I will take more pics.

AWESOME.......I want to play in that hole, I can tell that the dirt is so solid that collapse is not possible ( you can't make a smooth wall in the second photo with loose pack )
BUT precaution is always the better part of thinking when your looking at a few tons at minimum above you. I've got a climbing harness, lets play Rp |

I'm R_E_A_D_Y, would like to see what's under that rock that's in the bottom. The only thing we need to harness is the rocks to get them out! Then keep on diggin

I'll bring the shovels! I was thinking that maybe we could leave that rock in there for a ledge to put all our wonderful finds on before we get them out of the hole. We could just start cutting into the left more and start stepping it down again.

There might even be something like this under our rock.
 This was one of Quentins last finds.

hmmmm..... What will they find next?
A huge smokey quartz, some Amazonite, Goethite, or maybe more Fluorites? Quick..... Get me a pick and shovel, the suspense is killing me.
