diamond mines

its been really hot down here.  upper 90's.  the fact that the "diamond mines" where not really mines but a field made it extremly difficult to deal with in the heat.   but i kept on.  i rented a campsite, shovel, screen and a bucket all for around 18bucks.  i spent about 4 hours in the field and found a few cool rocks but no diamonds.  so i guess i will not be retiring early :(
here are some pics of the fields and the rocks i did find.  (jasper on the left and idk what the other is)

spider there was a bunch of huge daddy long-legs but they would move to much for the picture to be clear
