Yes you have been. Looks like you have enough for a pie! Smiley
Those are great looking plates. Some healthy gemmy looking garnets. Keep on digging! Thanks for the pictures!
I'm just curious; Is soapstone found within a mile in any direction that you know of?
What are the clear gemmy green crystals in the host rock?
