	I went on my second dig over the weekend and thought I would share the pics from Burgen and Bowers I believe.

	Good Job, Dominic! Thanks for the pics! It was a real enjoyable weekend, if you like alotta diggin'. You guys made good progress on that tunnel of yours. Here are a few more pics from the weekend. The first is the hole I have been working on the past few times digging at Burgin. This the before digging picture and, ofcourse, I forgot to take an after pic. The next pic is a "live-action" shot and the last is of the Burgin Guardian and Mascot, Jack.

	My "best" pocket of the day came within the first hour of digging. First pic shows the whole area around the pocket and in the second you should be able to see the bruised and battered end of a possibly good size crystal poking out. The next pic is after pulling it out and the last two pics are after soap and water cleaning. Real pretty example of Burgin Fractured Quartz. Wouldn't you say Scott?
