In all seriousness, Mark, we would love to.
We know that there are many more crystallizing veins there
to be dug, and that some will have pockets of amethyst.
We would have to dig deep and extensive holes, which is
no problem, but, unfortunately, this is just not the place to
do that kind of digging. About the best we can hope for is
that the house they build on that lot now will be one with
a basement. Wink

I never found yalls holes, I focused on the undeveloped area by the pool and playground. There was a large cleared section across the road and a creek running up the same side as the pool that lead up into the woods.

Cool, RR, that creek on the same side as the pool is where
I found my first amethyst at BG.
And we filled our holes back in. Wink

There was a small catch basin just across form the swimming pool that I found small loose crystals of amethyst and also once dug a purple vein in situ.  The purple vein had no crystal faces but it was amethyst.  Unfortunately the catch basin is completely overgrown and exposure is non existent.  Hopefully they will develop that area and re-expose everything.
