This is the site in daylight..the area on the right side is the exact spot that was severely trenched on the night of 1/12



Because some of the construction crew part i****te in the night digging, they do a quick fillin & cleanup before working hours next day...

Good deal for all.

( sorry cant fool the * patrol )

So word is the diggin is over, not a word from anybody about it all day. So were is everone at tonight??

Last pics from 1/14

I found a large drill with the base missing..



Lucky David & crew got some nice pieces ( near the far end closest to the entry off the main road )





Hard to appreciate in this light ( lack of light )...a very nicely hollowed matate.



3 nights finds by Mark 1 & 2 Wayne laid out on the motel room table..They came up from Houston and stayed at the motel,,,,THIRTY FEET from the digsite



the only find that the Badger made was that the last millenium's antiquated "regular" bulb headlamp does not hold a candle to the modern LED lights..

Yea what a bummer the site was shut down before I could get out there. I was told the superintendent got mad because people dug up too close to the road.

good pics Hal, I at least got too go one night before I left. It was one of the coolest and strangest digs I have ever been on. All of the people I met were very nice.

Thats exactly the way I feel about it, now I've been to TWO Woodstocks.

And YOU are ESPECIALLY LUCKY...How fitting that you would be on a night dig with headlamps just days before you are about to go digging under the Northern Lights..

Now all you have to figure out is a new apropriate diggers Pen name ...

And how to find Gem points under the heaviest snows that that area has had since 1940.
