    I moved to Maine in 1982, and I met an older guy who had been mining for 20 years. We ended up being mining partners and went to 12 different mines over a period of 14 years. One of those mines was the Harvard Quarry, and I remember how steep it was. We went to the Dunton Mine in Newry many times, and I always remember the great view from that mine.

    Assume video. You have some really cool finds. I've wanted to hunt for Tourmaline in Maine for a long time, but it is pretty kinda a far trip from Kentucky

    There are a few locations I know of here in the west that I go to get schorl, but the crystals you collected are better than what we typically get here. Nice!

      It's a bit of a hike up but it's beautiful And totally worth it for what you'll find.

      It used to be an easy short hike until it was exploited and disrespectful out of staters ruined it...

    I have lived in Maine all my life. Just over the past 3 years I have broke into the prospecting, rock hounding and metal detecting world. Wish I did sooner. A mineral that I don't hear many people talk about finding in Maine is andalusite. Have you found any?

      Honestly I would have no clue. I may in my pales of things I've collected waiting to be cleaned. I have like 12 totes boxes n buckets of stuff from different places I don't have the time to ever go through. Wish I did lol
