Thank you Tobi. Arizona has actually produced some very good Vanadinite's over the years. They are just getting harder to find.

Note From Evan Jones -
I researched Ray Archambeau and he was a prospector who lived in Congress, AZ. He passed away quite awhile ago. Apparently he found the coppers (1990) with a metal detector while looking for gold. This was a one time find with an interesting history.
