I drove down to the National Forest areas of southwestern Washington County and southeastern Crawford County near the town of Viburnum, to do some scouting for the upcoming MAGS Club trip, to make sure good friends of mine from the Memphis area club would be able to find some nice specimens of druse quartz. Docia and I had been bragging about this area to them and I sure didnt want us to fall on our faces after they took the time and made the long drive up here. This is a great time, other than the cold weather, to go out and look for druse in the forest because you dont have to put up with poison ivy or brush and briars, or critters, or pests like chiggers and ticks, or other scarey things that shall go unmentioned. 🙂

Needless to say, due to this good area, I found a TON of nice stuff all over the area that I searched, and there is a big area there…I probably only scratched the surface of the area there and found a few nice enough ones to bring home with me…

Well that gives you an idea of some of the nicer stuff I found in the forest area I was scouting today. A good friend of mine is coming down that weekend to go hunting with Docia and I…Ralph is from Ohio and I have hunted with him for beautiful purple fluorite in Marion, Kentucky, too…Ralph loves druse quartz as well. I`m looking forward to his visit.

While down there, I decided to drive a little further and check out the secret spot for poker chips and druse, and found some really nice combo pieces in some piles that had been spread out all over the place….

and…

and also found this nice druse plate there…
