Lee Fleming, Rick JacquotAround 11:00, I left the Lonesome Dove to head over to Colemans, some of the others had already headed that way.
Ron Coleman Mine
The Ron Coleman people were very nice, they gave the club members a 50% discount on admission for digging. $10.00 to get in and $5.00 for seniors, I thought that was great!
Loretta Myers was the first to score a big crystal for the weekend, she found this at Colemans that afternoon.
Loretta and her crystal.

Lee at the Coleman Mine.
Some of the members did not go to Lonesome Dove or Colemans, they went to the Sweet Surrender Mine.
Machine at the Sweet Surrender Mine.
Many of the crystals found at the Sweet Surrender Mine were covered with a thick black manganese, these are some of Roseanna and Eds finds, i'll post the cleaned pics when they are done.
