Fieldtrip Report:

Crabtree Emerald Mine
Mitchell County, N.C.
Thanksgiving Dig!
November 28th-30th, 2008

The Crabtree Thanksgiving dig was a bit cold, but it was still a great dig! We had a small turnout for the club, only about forty MAGMA members and five Hendersonville members arrived to help us dig up the new area we were planning to work. The ones who did participate did very well.

Tom Leary was back, it was great to see him again.
