This is a nice quarry, known mostly for several types of sand and gravel. To the rockhounds however, it is a nice place to find various minerals and geodes, and some fossils. I am not to keen on minerals for now, as I just took up this hobby.
While we were there, I did find some nice geodes for my collection.
If you would like to dig around yourself, you will need to contact the company for permission and times to enter.
