Tornadoes and floods can’t stop a M.A.G.M.A. club dig. Club members drove through unfamiliar and flooded back roads to get to the famous JXR amethyst. Tornadoes tore apart a couple of buildings about 15 miles north of JXR.

It was a great dig with approximately 55 people turning out.



Dennis and Shawna are newlyweds having a great time.

Andrea high up on the dumps.

Dennis tries bustin’ a few rocks. Hard work pays off with vugs filled with amethyst.


Or you can dig through the dump piles.

Here is an awesome picture of Terry bringing out fresh dumps for M.A.G.M.A. 

Everybody loves to watch the big machine! We just wish we were operating it!

Proof that digging makes you happy.
