After the great day at the beach we all headed to John and Gloria's house for a barbecue and show and tell. John showed off his beautiful Amethyst scepters from a recent dig.

Then we all packed into Johns crystal museum where. We cracked open our clams hoping to find an elusive crystal clam.

Day 2
Most of the group headed out to a quarry for Crystals While Herb his grandson and I headed back to the beach hoping for more fossils. Herb concentrated more on Concretions and found a killer shrimp claw concretion, one of the best I have seen after going through thousands!

Herb's great find on the second day! A really good claw specimen
that is one of the best I have seen from here. Just needs a little prep.

Good going Herb! His Grandson was really good at finding crystal filled Clallamensis tubes, and Teredo wood.

I cant wait until next year I really enjoyed meeting all of you and hope ya all had as great as a time as I did. Thanks all for a successful get together!
