What a Blast!!!

We had a blast today!! We figure we won't get a load out until Monday so we decided to check out one of the places on our list of places we want to visit. We went to Gold'n Gems Grubbin' north of Atlanta. We saw it on the Travel Channel. We bought a bucket of rocks and sorted through looking for gems. It was chilly out and a little drizzly, but we were under cover so we didn't get too wet!



We felt like little kids playing in the rocks! We brought a lot of "pretties" home and left a garnet there to be cut and mounted for my birthday. Right now its about the size of a golf ball so it should come out really nice! We also found a good size emerald, some rubies, tiger eye, amethyst, citrine, and others. We figure we can get one cut every few months if we keep working! LOL
