On a recent walk, we decided to return to a place where quartz pops out of the ground near a big oak tree. Quartz is often found where gold is found. The piece Karla is examining is about the size of a large watermelon. We have tried to pick it up before, but the rock is so heavy that not even ten people trying all at once can budge it, even though it’s not attached to the ground.
I wish we could move it so we could see if it has any gold in it. But, well, it’s just too heavy.Maybe we should look for gold in smaller pieces, not quartz but pintz.

There's always a sledgehammer.
Sledge hammers are too heavy to haul that far up the hill.
There's always a truck.
The price of gas is expected to go up soon.
There's always Ben.
Mom says Ben and Cola came in on Christmas day for apples. I guess I’ll have to wait till next Christmas.
There's always a metal detector
My metal detector only finds rusty nails and pull tabs from aluminum cans. Guess I should have paid more for one that can find gold.
