Day Fourteen - Year Two

We drove out to Mt. Ida and went to the Wegner Crystal Mines to dig for crystals and quartz.  They provided buckets and tools, we just had to drive out to the field where they emptied out the tailings from their mining and dig!

A couple of hours later, we had a five-gallon bucket full of treasure to clean up and check out!  Sam had a great time - what kid doesn't like digging for buried treasure?  Jim and I enjoyed ourselves, too, even though the sun was a little hot.  Some of my favorites were the crystal clusters that we found, along with some large crystals.  Cool!
