Docia and I met at the secret spot last week to follow up on my pocket find at the lower level and see if we could find a few more pockets while there. We drove in early morning to beat the heat and no sooner did we arrive, did we start finding new pockets. I decided to see if the last two pockets I had found, would expand any….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

…while she went to the left and found a couple of new ones right away.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"3<\/a><\/p>\n

…she first found a little ledge between us and then a drill hole and then she kept moving to the left and found an opening into what turned out to be a perfectly round pocket opening with a cluster of poker chips in the middle embedded into rock….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

..and here are a few of her finds….<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"4<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to see if either of the two pockets I discovered last week, would open up more…one had been filled with water but now a week later was dried up…so I worked on it first…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"6<\/a><\/p>\n

…and removed as many loose crystals as I could from it, then worked on the face of the pocket and removed some more plates…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"7<\/a><\/p>\n

and was able to pull these plates and crystals out…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"9<\/a><\/p>\n

…once I had the pocket opening expanded, I was able to see some nice druse plates inside….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

..and while trying to expand the pocket opening, I was able to chip a few plates like this one off…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"11<\/a><\/p>\n

…as well as these plates and combos…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"12<\/a>\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

…I then moved over to the right to expand the other pocket as much as I could…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"13<\/a><\/p>\n

..and boy did it keep going back…and back…and finally I got to this point, above, and could reach in up to my shoulder and felt yet another pocket above and to the right…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

….and Docia expanded all of her pockets as well…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"18<\/a><\/p>\n

..until we were both wore out after digging for four hours non stop….I was able to remove two bags of poker chips alone….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"19<\/a><\/p>\n

..including several poker chip twins…and several nice plates apiece…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
