Opals don't react chemically with the stone matrix around them, and they don't leave the "traces" that gold or diamonds do. So it is a matter of digging and digging and digging. One spot is as good...
Summer has advantages that frigid January just can't touch, like the ability to walk, jog or rollerblade on Memorial Drive. On Sundays, Memorial Drive is closed to traffic, but a paved path along the river is good enough the rest of the week...
