Spring is time for more rocks and gold

Quartzsite Pow Wow was a blast as usual with time spent before and after rockhounding. I did not want to sell at Stoddard Wells this year in March as I wanted to return to Burro Creek for purple rocks. Need to return to BC in the future as the old great purple agate/jasper location is not accessible and a new location needs to be found. Purple pastelite was found. I did sell at the Vista show in April with some rain at night. Just returned from 5 days collecting in the Tonopah NV area. One day was for old glass and four days collecting turquoise. I will be selling for one day at the San Diego Mineral and Gem BBQ on May 14th. Looking forward to getting up to my gold claim on the middle Yuba river in May. I was going to go this month but the river water is running high.
Until next time, go smell some dirt in the meantime.
