They are very nice! Great shine. I like the gray and light pink one - unique color tone.

I am so excited that you posted these! I live about 3 hrs north of Muskingum county and hubby and I planned on heading there in the Spring. i'm having a bit of trouble finding an actual location - and wasn't sure if they were still even open - Did you call the number online? Or just go up to the house? I'm curious on the process to go dig there. Thanks!!

Or just go up to the house? I'm curious on the process to go dig there. Thanks!! I just Googled directions to Nethers farm and it took me right there. I watched a few videos on YouTube that people posted that had the farm house in it so I was sure I was pulling into the right place. I walked up to the porch to read the info on the table and the homeowner open the door and filled me in. The pits are across the street. You can park in the driveway or over by the pits which is where I parked....I parked close to the road because I didn't want to drive across all the sharp flint laying around. I never called the number so I can't say how that works. I made a post in the rockhounding section of the forum about my trip that has more info and a few pics of some of the rough I got. Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to help.
