Nice haul! We have been there one time and I dug up on the hill at the Bonanza if I remember correctly. I found several nice, but small pieces and one absolutely killer Harlequin piece about 3 carats. I had heard the Bonanza material is already dried and won't crack and craze like the material from the mines in the valley. Mine has been stored dry for about 12 years and no cracking so far
I want to go back so bad!

My wife and I were there in 1961. We found 5 killer pieces. Those we still have haven't crazed yet. It is better than some Australian material I bought.
