someone siphoned gas out of my car! I can't go dig now til pay day! what a rotten lot! oh well, here is a pic of one of the crystals I dug. someone mentioned they didn't care for this mine cuz he nukes or dyes the rocks, this is about as clear as they come. found lots that dig. I was a red clay mess, but a happy mess.

Nice crystal, Becca. Sorry to hear about the slimy gas thief. Hopefully, he'll get caught by the wrong person some day and end up with a few broken fingers [:mad:]. ~Jim

I am antsy as well. But the snow wont stop!! I have 3 new places.......yet I have to sit here and wait. So I live vicariously through the diggers here who either brave the elements or who live in decent weather. My house is 1765, so I have been scratching around down in my basement (spiders ick) and have found a button, and some bottle shards. I will keep at it as I can. Sorry about your gas!

I am envious of y'all digging in your basement! (cept for the spiders) what was the button? I was shocked to see what some of the antique buttons sell for. I use them when I make jewelry.

Hi Becca, sorry about your gas theft. I like your crystal! Thanks for sharing that pic. Yes some buttons are pretty expensive. My wife and I started collecting some old buttons. It's amazing how many different types, materials, etc there are. Interestnig though. Take care all and good luck with your collections, digging, buying, or selling. Paul
