New angel wing material as far as i'm concerned. Was not expecting to find this pattern once cut open. Last pick fresh off saw.    If weather allows, i'm going to go fight the cold and dig a little more tomorrow. |

Holy crap Karl! I'm thinking you need to brave the cold, the rain, the snow, polar bears, mad badgers...whatever you have to fight off, you should be grabbing the rest of that! Freaking amazing!

No joke, to get back to it, I’ll have to brave snow, rain and cold. Storm moving in tonight. Weather app says I’ll have about a 5-7hr window to chisel as much as I can. There is currently snow on the ground.  I don't know. That's a tough call. You gotta figure it isn't going to be going anywhere...but knowing it's there and NOT getting it would kill me! LOL |

LOL I’m extremely paranoid about others stumbling on finds by dumb luck. It’s happened to me in the past. I generally try to do quick work if possible. |

Then I'd probably be looking like Ralphie's younger brother on a Christmas Story and going out there tomorrow.  |

Looking at it with your feet propped up in front of a nice warm fire will make it worth it. AND if you sell any cabs or slices from it and they balk at the exorbitant price tag you can always say " Lookie here bud, I braved a freaking blizzard to get that. A FREAKING BLIZZARD, now will that be cash or charge?"
