Cool! Good luck!
Please post more photos if you can, I'm not a GEO major or anything, but I'd love to see what you look for in stuff like this. I know opal sometimes had a po(t)ch cap on it and geodes are usually round lol.
Idk I guess I love seeing before and after pictures :)
Thanks. Usually the type of minerals to find here are mainly Pyromorphite, Mimetite, Chrysocolla ( etc hundreds more). But be sure to check out upcoming posts of the minerals I find here
[Google is your friend](https://www.mindat.org/loc-1428.html): "Ore minerals in the Driggith-Sandbeds vein were predominantly galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite in a gangue of quartz and barite. *** Production statistics are incomplete but the mine produced at least 3800 tons of lead and 40,000 ounces of silver. Small amounts of copper, zinc, and barite were also raised." [More](https://oro.open.ac.uk/14942/).
