Hey everyone.  I'll be heading to Aurora for the first time this October.  Any advice as to what type of tools to bring (sifter, shovel, etc)?  I was recently at Carmel Church Quarry and was pretty unprepared and wanted to avoid that happening again.  Any other advice would also be appreciated.

Also, I definitely wanted to hit some of the spoil piles while in the area. Reading the past posts, it seems as there are some near the museum, and then also past Chocowinity.  Is there a third at cox crossroads?  Thanks for your help and hope to see some of you out there!
