*Our 2009 Season saw fewer customers due to problems with the economy, so when that is factored in, it would appear that there would have been just as many honkers or maybe even more had we had more visitors. - So fear not - there are still lots and tons of rubies to be found - maybe you'll find a Honker! **Our 2010 Season has seen even a few less people than our 2009 Season, and yet there were MORE Honkers and Super Honkers found! ***Well It was a great year a bit slow but we had a blast and can't wait till next year!!!! See you ALL then!!!
