Last week after Docia and I found a few pockets in some different areas, I decided to come back the next morning and see if I could find another one. I had absolutely nothing better to do, so Missy and I got up early and returned to the secret spot and had a good few hours of digging. I decided to check out the area to the right of where Docia had dug out the nice pocket and see if the loose crystals I was seeing on top were part of a pocket underneath or just crystals she didnt like and tossed over there.
Before I started on the right side tho, I raked an extensive area to the left just a few small crystals…
….and then started seeing massive crystalization in the floor area…
….and then found a saddle that popped up and out of the ground with a cluster on one side…
…..so after only finding this, I walked over to the right and started seeing crystals in the gravel to the right of Docia`s extensive pocket from the day before…..
…..finding these indicators after just a little bit of raking…
…and found a small pocket that quickly unearthed these three guys…
Backing off, you can see the small short ledge, where they came from…
….in front of my glove on the right, and even though I had found a few nice single crystals and these three combos, a few more nice ones popped up quickly from that brown colored ledge to the right of the other ledge, like this little cluster…
..and this nice little combo…
..so I dug down and a little more into the shelf, but didn`t find much more…
Below are some of the finds the couple of trips, all cleaned up…the first one is a nice plate Docia found the day before…
..and a couple of clusters found on the pile…
..and the large druse with chip combo found up in the washout area…
…here are two photos of first plates and combos found the last few digs…
