Digger Doug - A D9 In Disguise

Here's a bit of fun, folks. The couple that I worked for out at Mt Surprise Gems, Pam and Pete, wrote a story about my exploits out on the fields and sent it off to one of the gem mags. I didn't really expect that it would be published... you can imagine my surprise when it was. Well, I guess this is my 15 minutes of fame or whatever they say it is. :-) This article has been reproduced with the kind permission of the folks at Gold, Gem and Treasure. Apologies for the large page size but scanning mags is always difficult and never seem to scale down very well and retain readability.
Enjoy...
