We met some friends of ours up at my second claim, Triple B, they all had experience aside from Mark's daughter. But, that was a just the termination of the crystal.. hehe.. I've been talking bout mining for so long at and around work, that a Bailey local - Squatch, and my co-worker Dylan wanted to see what it was all about. First time prospectors, had to explain quite a bit and I didn't really get in a whole lot of digging myself, but it's all good. Squatch found a few smokeys, but Dylan found a surface find (his first crystal mind you) just so happend to be a small sherry topaz... lucky something n other. Good on him for spotting it after I told him what to look for. We also brought our adventure cat, Smokey Q, Q for short.. she loved it, she was very content all day, going in and out of peoples digs and just being outdoors with mama n papa - and some new friends (for her) Anywho, I did find was some pretty gemmy Smokey Quartz terminations, G (my wife) found some also and maybe a little fluorite. Not sure what our friends found as they had left while I was on a #2 hike down the hill..

All n all tho, it was a great day to be out mining/prospecting. And now fer a few pics - (INSIDIUS, Dylan is your doppleganger)

Mine do ok on long days out as long as we are willing to carry them from time to time. One of our cats will climb up a tree ahead of me and jump onto my backpack for a ride when she wants, the other will lay under a bush and meow until we pick her up. It's an adventure with them but they like to go so we let them come with us.

I ended up getting out a couple of times to two different creeks and found gold both times so it was good and found the source at one of them. It might be my best chance at a nugget so far but I wont know until the snow melts.
