Many, many thanks to Terry Ledford and his son Christopher for giving rockhounds access to JXR, and for inviting MAGMA to host their "Grand Reopening". They treated us fantastically, and showed that they really know how to make sure their customers have a great time.

And, I'd like to personally thank all of the MAGMA members who attended the dig. Terry called me afterwards to say how impressed he was with the entire group. He had a blast while we were there, and wants us all to come back to visit his mine soon.

In the meantime, if you'd like to arrange a personal trip to JXR, you can contact Christopher through his e-mail. His address is diggerledford@yahoo.com.
