Well, those things don't stay put. The longer he waits, the deeper he 
might have to dig to get at it.

I can't wait for the thaw myself. I found some granite pegmatite nearby, 
and with pegmatite there is always a chance of finding tourmaline, 
aquamarine and other great things! But the trail leading to this place 
experiences a particularly deep freeze, and the snow is covering up 
everything :(
