At the meeting location. 137 avid mineral collectors attended this DMC dig!

Jim Haege - Giving us our orders!
Pick your spot to dig. Remember to save the sod so that we can leave the pasture like we found it.
Great day for digging! Garnets and staurolite can be found here as float and in pockets located 3 to 4 feet below the surface.
This is what we're looking for! Larry Landry found this large garnet in the first ten minutes in the top foot and half of soil.
