Lee Creek 411

OK I'm officially pumped.  I received notification of my slot, and first trip into the creek by Curtis Ormond exactly a month ago.  After "working" my wife and confirming that I will not be getting a divorce soon after abandoning my family Thanksgiving weekend for fossil finds,  I need to start getting some valuable info about this hunt.

I know about the basics, and requirements for entering the mine.  What I don't know is how to distinguish between yorktown, pungo and other formations.  Also is yorktown the formation to focus on, or does the pungo and other formations have good stuff as well. 

Any good info from the experts would help out greatly!!  Thanks again...look forward to possibley  meeting some of you.  Chris

One other thing.  I am scheduled for November 24th.  Will there still be spoil piles to access the night before? If so what are the locations.  Thanks Chris

Hmmmm ....Just like at the cliffs here in Maryland, you're one day ahead of me. I don't go until the 25th. We should try to catch up with each other Saturday night. You can show me your great finds and I'll show you the pics of my big buck from that morning.

Re: Lee Creek 411

Kevin I will definitely get up with you on Saturday afternoon. I wasn't sure I was able to go till tonight when I got the rest of the family's plans...I am pumped.  It looks like a good, large, productive area at the mine.  I would love one more tropical storm to hit say about one week before we go in!!

Re: Lee Creek 411
As a Newbie to Lee Creek I also have the same questions as Chris. It is hard to research much about distinguishig beetween Pungo and Yorktown on the web. What I have read is that the "Big Megs" will be in the Yorktown and the Chubs will be in Pungo-- Any other tips would be great. Thanks
