Another Pocket The Next Day

Last week after Docia and I found a few pockets in some different areas, I decided to come back the next morning and see if I could find another one. I had absolutely nothing better to do, so Missy and I got up early and returned to the secret spot and had a good few hours of digging. I decided to check out the area to the right of where Docia had dug out the nice pocket and see if the loose crystals I was seeing on top were part of a pocket underneath or just crystals she didnt like and tossed over there.

Before I started on the right side tho, I raked an extensive area to the left just a few small crystals…

…..so after only finding this, I walked over to the right and started seeing crystals in the gravel to the right of Docia`s extensive pocket from the day before…..
