Hey AG, Dr. J. Ho here.
This spot is on the east side of Raleigh. Wake Forest is on the
north. So this is about 15 miles from the house.
We really messed up on this one pocket from here. It was
probably the biggest and best pocket we've stumbled on
to date in Wake Co, but the backhoe beat us to it and
the first sign we saw of it was what was scattered across
the site. They had already partially backfilled and we
debated about re-digging it out because of the nice large
crystals we were finding on the surface, but didn't.
Then we got home and cleaned the crystals up and that's
when Scott found the small golden anatase crystals on the
stuff. A First for Wake County.
We went back next chance we got but they had already
filled in more and smoothed it over, so we didn't go for it.
Again, we should have, but didn't.
Oh well, live and learn............but the remains of the best
pocket we've ever seen in Wake County is probably just
sitting there a few feet under the surface. Dagnabbit!
