9am and ready to go!

All the "good stuff" seemed to be 4 ft underground.... or do they just like to dig?

Here is a nice piece of soapstone to carve

The kids got a good one!

 

Another hole... another large piece of soapstone

 

We got to visit an old Gold Mine, this is the entrance.

 

We were going in... and coming out muddy!

 

This is the "Mother Lode" Quartz vein. The dark streaks in the quartz hold the gold!
 

 

Our host had a few pups... I counted 9!

 

"Twenty-Five Hundred Acres and you had to choose my foot to sit on!"

 

This is an area they have pulled out some very nice Jade pieces
