Here are some pictures of the mining in progress.  It is taking place at the Allen Property in Greensville County, VA.  Interestingly enough, there is titanium
and many other minerals (ores) in the soil, and that particular mineral is used in many things that everyone uses daily.  This property is from Mom's side of the
family.  John Randolph Allen, and Lelia Doyle (maiden name).  My grandparents,
from Mom's side.

This is looking into what was once a field to the left of the path
going up to the house. The top soil has been pushed off and
a gravel road cut in the middle to handle heavy trucks
when they unload pipe.

Note the mineral rich soil. This is the field AFTER the topsoil has been
pushed aside. I was amazed at how much blue sand was there
after the topsoil was removed. I think more under the topsoil
than in the topsoil.

Little pond in the south west corner of the field. Note it has filled up with
water from the rain last weekend. They must know what they're
doing because there is very little water standing in the field,
it most all ran off into the little pond.
