Default Road Trip Finds

Boobie and myself left Sat. morning and went to the Hiddenite (Emerald Hollow Mines) and arrived about 8:30A.M.

We worked the creek and the sluice most of the day and then found out that they did not have any camping spaces SOOOOO back to my house.

Early Sun. morning BACK to the mines and we finished up about 4:30 P.M. and BACK to my house.

WE HAD A FANTASTIC TIME sharing FUN and FRIENDSHIP ( and stories).

Boobie is a wonderful person and he knows that he is WELCOME at my place ANYTIME that he wants to drop by.

Here are a few pictures that I made of Boobie at the mines.

Boobie will be posting soon with some more pic's. and video that he and I made and hopefully a pic of his finds too.

Default Stones/gems

JOHN, I plan on making some things out of the Tigereye, Amethyst and Moonstone. Will probably sell some of them also.
Some of the prettiest Tigereye I have ever seen. The ones I found will probably go around 250-300ct's.each.
