Hello Everyone! Mining season is upon me again, and I need reasons to dig. This will be the last year that I am going to dig Olympic Poppy, so this is the last chance to get some while the getting is good. As always special pricing for forum members. I don't publish prices because of search engines, but members here always get my best material for the best price. This has been my lapidary home for years, and I've learned so much from ya'll that I like to give back. If you are interested in a box, please shoot me a PM. Thanks!    |

I am into it. I would like a nice big poppy piece. Even a 5" cube after you slab it up will be OK

Is any of this poppy jasper still available, or is it yet to be hunted?

I have enough collected for the initial round of sales here on the forum. I'll be digging all winter and I'll start listing on Ebay next month. I usually dig through April, but this year is going to be up in the air, since we are moving in June and in order to move, I have to (finally) finish building my house. Busy busy!
All Pm's replied to. Thanks all, and keep em coming!

I don't want GPS numbers  but I'd love to hear about your mining operation. Is there a previous thread (hopefully with pictures) posted about your adventures? |

I don't post photos of the diggings, because I have an agreement with the landowner that only allows me access. If he had to deal with rockhounds showing up on his land, everyone would lose. It is a sad part of this hobby that once word gets out about a "good" spot, it gets very quickly destroyed, The odd club outing aside, where every one is respectful and picks up after themselves. I personally saw two different spots here in Washington State get published on facebook this year only to have them close less than a month later after going viral. I will start a thread about what I do, and how I do it, as well I'll post photos of some of the results. Didn't mean to slip into a rant there. |

Hey Joshua, were you able to come up with any large high grade pieces for me?
