Date creek is about halfway between Wickenburg and Burro Creek, and the AZ club we're in went out there Saturday. Yay field trip! Up before dawn Got up there about 9am, a little cloudy but sun was out over there. We got a little sun too, and oh the view... There was a good sized group between our rock club and a gold prospectors club that joined us. First little specimen I found. Clumps like this were all over, plus lots of points. We will return with a screen box one day soon. Potluck Action! Nobody went hungry. Of course the lovely Elizabeth and Taco were there, or should I say Talk-O... Beautiful desert foliage that would like to puncture you... Look carefully, this young lady who joined us with friends knows how to find and dig out the best pockets of crystals, and were happy to share their tricks. The blue bucket was about half full of nice points. Nice to have another spot less than an hour away. Next time we will probably take the trailer and get some of the generic quartz for garden landscape rock too. Here's some of the nicer ones and a few examples of something we plan to do with some of them.

have a question Lee if one finds a quarz outcrop and/or a pod is that indicative that points would be buried ? ig one digs? It's out on Date Creek Ranch Road off 93 about 20 miles north of Wickenburg, easy access for any vehicle as long as it's dry. Probly not today. Hassayampa was damp yesterday at noon and running bank to bank at the bridge as I passed going south, but was still just damp where it passes under the train trestle around Allah. When I got back from the airport it was running strong all the way down, I must have passed the first time just in time to see the head of a release from the reservoir upstream. Tomorrow or Wed after the rain washes more crystals up would be great, but I'll probably be working. All the quartz out there looks like it was in pockets of the now decomposing host rock that has mostly become part of the soil. The girl who was digging in was about 12-18 inches down in mostly dirt with a trench shovel and a screwdriver and her fingers. Our first time in such a place, but the advice was to look under the spots where there was the larger chunks on top, and to fill the holes back up.

mohs I considered starting a pendant line "Metaphysical FPS" For when you need that cleansing at supersonic speeds. OK not really, I can only imagine the reaction at some shows.

Not sure what FPS stands for Lee might be because of my EFS? synapse and axon are at low energy just got back from internet provider SIM card problems they can't recover my contacts think they got wu-fu working fingers crossed how that samsung got krocked ? really as me questioning metaphysical bugaboos like crystalline bullet to the middle of the forehead hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...that would be my choice of medicine
