HERE IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED - JUST THE EDGE OF THE BLADE WAS STARTING TO POP OUT
ITS LITTLE HEAD - THE DIG WAS ON !  WE WERE ALL EXCITED AND HUNG AROUND
WHILE THIS ONE WAS UNEARTHED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THOUSANDS OF YEARS

WHEN STARTING TO CLEAN OFF THE EDGE WE WE ALL IMPRESSED AT THE WAY IT WAS IN THE
GROUND. STANDING UP ON ITS EDGE - NEXT TO A SMALL ROCK AND THE TIP AREA
WAS ACTUALLY GOING UNDER A FLAT ROCK THAT IS ABOUT 4 FT ACROSS! JUST STICKING UNDER
THE EDGE OF THIS HUGE SLAB OF ROCK ! WHATTA SIGHT!

ROCK WHERE IT IS POKING UNDER .
