ynot Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Well, 3 more days of digging. The first 2 days We followed a thick, but narrow, vein with lots of vugs. But alas there were no big vugs or crystals. On day 3 found nothing. We decided it was time to call it for the season and did what was needed to fulfill the forestry services requirements. Thank You all that hung with Us on this adventure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You all that hung with Us on this adventure. It's always a little sad having to call it quits, but I probably would have made the same decision. Thanks for taking us along with you. It's been a very interesting trip. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilNerd Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I’m sorry to see your exploits are coming to an end! Even though the end of the season was a bit of a let down for you, I think you had a great one! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Can’t wait for next year!

digit Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 It's been an interesting ride. Would love to see some photos of your nicer pieces once you have time to sort through and photograph some of them. Looking forward to chapter 2 next season.

Well it has been 3 years since I started this thread, and I kinda dropped the ball. One month after the end of the dig, My Father had a stroke and took 8 months to pass. He needed 24/7 care for that time. His passing made a big change in My life. I sold most of My collection and had to quit the claim. I can not post the requested pictures as I no longer have the crystals. Thanks again for the interest in this story. Kind regards, Tony 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnbuckeye Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 My Father also succumbed to a stroke. Took me many years to pass through the grievance steps but now live a much healthier life as I frequently relive the great memories we had together. My sympathies go out to you and your family and hope the "steps" will pass rapidly. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Sorry to hear that, Tony. At least you got to do it when you did, and I'm glad to have received my little piece of the hoard. I hope you go on to have more great exploits henceforth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Tony and your double Ynot, I’m so sorry about what happened to you. Every day is enough for your pain, so go at your own pace, with all our friendship.
