Field Trip Report:
Buck Creek,
Clay County, N.C.
June 29th-July 4th, 2005Our first stop was to a location I had not been to before and it proved to be a great site. While the other members were digging and sifting, I walked the area to see what I could find.
Ron Denton and his Wife.
Dave Hargis and new member Tom Morrissey.
Matt Hargis, Josh and his family and Tom Wright and his Wife.
I found this nice hex crystal cluster on the ground surface collecting this site.
Back side of above specimen, the piece is about the size of a golf ball.
I found this piece at the same location, laying on the ground. I still can't figure out why Ron didn't pick it up? he, he, he, it has 12 crystals in matrix on this side.
We spent a little time at this site and then headed to the other side of town, back to the Herbert Mine.
Through the rainforest that is Buck Creek.
