Found a vein of pin gravel this evening!

[MadJack]

So on and off though out the summer I've been cleaning up and pushing stumps that was dumped here 6 years ago. Yesterday I decided to dig in my pit and build up a small camper pad at one edge of the pit. This evening after dinner I was shaving a bank, and opened up (found) a nice vein of pin gravel. Mostly 1/4" to 3/8' sharp rocks, part of a glacial moraine deposit from eons ago.

I have no idea how far it goes but I'm topping the camper pad with some for now, and will be using several yards where we park our cars.

I can finally DIG now that I found my loader (lifting) issue. Someone put new seals in the cylinders and the right side apparently wasn't pre-lubricated before installing. (mechanic to me that)

Sorry for no pictures, but it was dark when I came in and didn't have the phone with me.

That's a good find! Hopefully it doesn't peter out and you have enough for whenever you need it.

That's a score... I have a sand vein on my proprety but it is at the end of it and I don't have anything to dig... maybe one day I will get to it

I would LOVE to hit such a vain.

And there is a petered out sand pit not 300 yards south of my place. All I get is ledge, stone and rotten sdhist.
