Hey Everyone!
My name is Guy Schafer, I am originally from Canada, a small northern British Columbia town called Fort St. John. My Dad bought Lap equipment when I was a kid and I remember going on some rock hunting trips with him and my brothers, the finding, the tumbling, the cutting, the polishing, the constructing of jewlery etc.
Recently my kids and wife and I went to a local mineral and rock museum here in Georgia where we live, (about an hour north westish of Atlanta. It brought back all these memories and I got on google, found this rock board, wrote a message to a local lady, she told me about a local (3 hours away) guy who has an amethyst pit, and well the rest is history. We went on our first dig, me and the 5 kids, and had a great day....was grueling work, but awesome.
So now comes the tumblers and et all but I couldn't be happier.
Am always open to new locations for rock digs in our travels...and will keep in touch here.
