Been Awhile.
Posted by Bev Darby on 25th May 2021
So much has been going on this month.
We spent 7 full days at the Pink Lady Claim in Graveyard Point! This is the claim being run by Steve, Tom and Lori of ION mining. Talk about fun! The variety of material and sheer amounts they are obtaining is mind boggling. Being able to make my purchase choices as it is being pulled from the ground was a privilege not many people get to make. Of course I would have liked to buy every rock that came out but tried to make my selections carefully. Such decisions were difficult. Alan worked in the pit, while I helped with sorting. Hope to make it to their Carrasite dig in July.
Since we have been back, it has been crazy here. Not finished cleaning the trailer yet. The amount of laundry was mind boggling. Have gotten a few rocks in the saw. The plumes and colors a real eye candy. The sphere machines have material from October running.
Besides all that, yesterday we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary with a trip to Jerome AZ. The mines there were some of the largest copper and silver mines in US history.
