Thanks again R.J.

If somebody will go back to the same place or area that is a good sign.

Herkimer, NY. thats just off I-90. Myself being from MA.
It is kind of in my back yard.
If your ever in MA. I recommend checking the Harvard museum of natural history in cambridge they have a great collection of minerals.
Just happened to stumble across it looking for something to do with the family on a weekend.

thanks R.J.
& GOOD HUNTING!

SC, yeah, I would do it again. I might try one of the other places in the area just to see how they are. I would do research first.
My wife and I enjoyed it enough that we are currently planning a trip to the Herkimer, NY area to dig for Herkimer “Diamonds” (double terminated water clear quartz).

I may doing some gemstone hunting next time I get out to the Vegas/Pahrump area which will probably be in December.
