****  edit:  This dig will not be happening.  There was not enough interest generated.  We may try again later in the year.  Thanks!

Here's a nodule I found there.  I polished all the sides to bring out the purple.

A little over 2.5 hours from Raleigh or Pittsboro.

Erosion is the thing for me
I just don't like to dig - you see
Picking rocks up right off the ground
is good enough for this lucky old rockhound

I would really like to go.  Next weekend would work best for me.  If there is no option and we have to go this weekend then I would make it happen

No dig at Scufflin Acres this weekend.

Alright folks, it appears interest was not high enough to make a commitment in setting this up, so I'm not setting this for this weekend.

Stay tuned in the general section as I'll be more likely to begin setting up digs as the weather starts getting a little cooler.
