Upon arriving, it was clear this wasn't going to be an easy hunt. Unlike the previous desert expeditions, the strewn field was spread across thick jungle and cow pastures which were often covered in tall grass.
Dense jungle vegetation made search efforts extremely difficult.

My Find!
As the time passed, the rainy season commenced, and leaves began to slowly cover the jungle floor. I purchased a small rake and decided to go to the “small end” and slow my search down. Within half a day, I had my first find. Weighing in at 1.4 grams, it will reside in my permanent collection.
