My wife (Robin) and I met several of you at the Reel Mine dig. Finally got around to getting logged in here to say THANKS to Bryan & Becky for the really nice & free quartz plates from Diamond Hill. We are going to try to make that next trip to collect some for ourselves. It was great meeting Rick, Sandy, Nikki, Drew, Rebecca, Becky, Andrea, Roger, Tim, Bryan and probably a few more whose names I forgot. On a side note, I was at the Ray Mine last Thursday. The Forest Service folks were there preparing to build a bigger parking area. They were also in the process of marking off the area around the creek, the creek & about 30 yds to either side of it will appaarently be off limits to digging in the future so that the creek can be reclaimed. Found one nice beryl crystal, some apataite, columbite & some nice moonstone (at Little Ray).
See ya Tim Heafner

Welcome to the Board Tim! Glad you decided to jump on and join in. It was great meeting you and your wife at the Reel and chatting with you. Thanks for the update on the Ray too. Glad to hear they are keeping it open to rockhounding and managing the land. What a relief to hear of a dynamic plan of reason and promise and conservation. Peace, Rebecca
