The Lindberg Pit
Day 10! In the books!
The struggles of a new deposit are real especially if someone else dug it 75 years ago. We are blessed to dig this and we will figure it out like we do all of our deposits. We hit some crazy beautiful mushroom rhyolite today with agate, opal and quartz. I love this stuff. Eggs were pretty awesome too. Thankful for Jerry, Shawn and my Bruce! Stay tuned! ⛏💪❤️🙏

Managing our tailings is very important. The top soil is piled separately to place back on top of the ground during reclamation. It is rich in native seed.

This is how we find egg deposits. A small trench about 100’ long. I look for eggs in the wall. If there aren’t any we fill the trench, grade it, plant seed and leave the smallest footprint possible. That’s called Reclamation. We do it after the end of each trip out. ⛏💪
