scraping and digging
You can see the fresh ground I have been scraping and digging in, located on a slight slope of the hill depicted in the other pics of the sagenite site at Tapado, in Chihuahua, Mexico, a few miles to the southeast of San Carlos Canyon. I collected about thirty pounds from this spot, including an amethyst geode I gave to Jim, before quitting and moving across the arroyo to check out the spot where my helper and guides were digging other agates. It is a little treacherous, due to the cactus plants mixed in with surrounding vegetation and a few scorpions we sometimes dig up with the rocks.
