On Wednesday, the people that didn't want to go mining did the next best thing, they came to "Jacquot's Rock Ranch" to do some pile crawling.




3,500 lbs. later and I can barely tell they took anything!


Back at camp, we had a new rockhound join us from Wisconsin. Clifford had just finished mining in Thunder Bay, Canada and brought his finds to show and sell. I like his license plate.


Stephen had a nice variety of gems to choose from. He also brought his cabochons he made from the Crabtree piece he found last year.

Back to the rock ranch on Friday, the members found more goodies to take home.
