That is a shame to hear. I think treasure hunting like this tends to bring out the irresponsible type quite often. I guess because of that I appreciate the fee mines more and more.

Do not stop at this roadcut, you will get a ticket or possibly arrested. This is the result of unscrupulous and greedy collectors who were taking large quantities of geodes from the cut and undermining it. Two people caused this to become off limits to everyone else!!!!
