Saturday arrived and we spent the morning trying out all kinds of great food for breakfast. I think I had at least three different meals between Nancy, Lee, and whoever else had good stuff to eat. The members began to arrive for the days dig. I planned to spend the day at the Herbert Mine, many don't like this site because of the lack of color in the corundum, but I like finding the big crystals that I know are there. I will admit that I had not seen a large crystal come from the site for some time, but that was about to change.
The Saturday morning crew, ready to dig!
Most of us headed to the Herbert while a few others headed off in other directions.
