Fine weather, 18. 20, 25 degrees, and I've been out and about. And found some stuff, finally, that's giving me hope (because the job, lets be real, in this weather is nothing but despair).
A big rock, quartz, but of interest is a large - maybe 6 or 7 cm long crystal that runs down the middle - hexagonal, Beryl, I'm guessing, the non-gem variety of Emerald, but it fills me with hope, it shouldn't be here, none of the mining reports I read mention anything other than Black Tourmaline, this one, white or colorless (it would need a fair bit of cleaning) is a pretty large and fine specimen, not pretty, but there will be better when I find the source...
And the other treasure hunting season is underway. 3 days until I'm living in the woods, there will be time...
