Charles William 'Bill' Hayward and Christopher Fleming Hayward: Prospectors, collectors and dealers-Part 2

摘要

During the Larimer County trips, Bill and his collecting partner would visit private ranches requesting permission to prospect. On one trip, Bill stopped at a pegmatite outcrop along the road to the ranch homestead. From this road cut, he recovered a 1.5 inch gemmy, facetable red garnet within the Sherman Granite. Unfortunately after talking with the landowner, he was refused permission and thus could only just drive out (Bill Hutchinson, Sr. 2020 personal communication).
