Prospecting

Dennis looks the part with that hat on his head. If you look closely at the bottom of the frame, you'll see a geode jumping from the force of the hammer that just hit it. (Try clicking on the photo to enlarge it.) Neither the hammer nor hammer/screwdriver combination (Dennis wouldn't let us use his good chisels) worked at cracking open the two geodes Luke and Bridget bought at the rock and mineral show. Luke eventually got them opened with a sledgehammer and discovered the treasure: fine white crystals in one and coffee-brown crystals in the other.
