Back in Calgary, for a bit at least, winter is spent on the MTO, Mapping treasures, Emeralds, Topaz, Ruby, Sapphire, Diamonds, it will be, if I can afford it, a busy summer. It's all here. The diamonds, they're an Alberta thing, there are claims here for that as well, closer to the Alberta border, but for everything else there are claims within 50 KM of Nelson. I've already found Garnets, when the snow is gone I'll find the rest. Everything. Every Gem in the fucking world. I'm creating my own map, adding 2 or three new markers per day, everywhere here you can dig and be surprised, the trick always is recognizing what you've found and creating value from it...
