So... we were out doing our controlled testing run on the new Raptor Flare 2.0.
LOT's of work... long day. After all was done, we packed up, and everyone was leaving.
I waived by to all... then decided to walk back to the dirt pile. Walking around it snooping
for gems like I always do.
There was a little purplish / green showing through near the bottom.
Reached down and pulled this garnet ball out.
Pretty cool.
I've found big ones before but this is a monster. Over one pound... and over 2300 carats.
You just got to love the dirt.
Also put up some pics of the testing gold.
