ok here is what i found in a big pocket of material...the pocket just kept going...not sure what it is but im hoping its some form of amethyst...although the rocks look more greyish purple...all the rocks (about50 in all) that i was pulling out looked deep purple. but now they all look more of a greyish purple...not great specimens i know but exciting for a newbie none the less...

thanks scott...nah no crystal grade....but the pocket was still goin when i left there...i had to leave because my kids were getting home from school...but were goin back tomorrow...so im hoping to get my first actual crystal...the dirt mound is pretty large and theres mica all over the rocks that are in the dirt drive to the mound so im crossing my fingers...pretty hard diggin with the fround frozen but well worth it since theres more there...sorry i wasnt able to make it to the school this mornin...had some business mess to deal with...but i look forward to gettin to one day meet you guys on a dig
