While on the hunt for new locations I am always on the look out for mineral specimens. I am new to the area so I am sure I will be covering ground that has been seen before, but you never know what you might find if you just keep looking.
While checking the now defunct Copperhead claim ad Triple T mine I found a couple nice copper ore specimens.

So I took the kids up to Bonanza to check out the old Eagle mine. Mainly to check reports of Rhodochrosite from this locale.
We did find some Fluorite but much of it was broken or degraded.
A small quartz vug.
And the only pink we found.
