We spent about 7 hours at this site with the tools necessary to access these hidden gems. You can rent a 3lb hammer at the location to break open some of these hidden gems but we suggest bringing your own additional tools. IE: safety glasses, gloves, pry bar, 5lb hammer, pick, chisel, wedges, ziplock baggies and a 5gal bucket to carry away your treasures. Many small samples in matrix are easily accessible and will be enjoyed forever! As can be seen by some of our photo's.
Well worth the effort you put in. Enjoy some of our shots from our trip September 19th, 2018. We also highly recommend the Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA campgrounds on site across the street. Great location, nice stream and quiet location to rest inbetween treasure hunts, bracelets are issued by the mine so you may come and go throughout the day. Any questions about this location feel free to contact us.
