  • Got an epic video for you guys today at an old lead mine down in Massachusetts. The minerals here are phenomenal. I was so overwhelmed by everything here i didnt really have any sort of plan, other than to just pick up what my eyes saw! This site is free to mine at and has minerals that can't be found in neighboring areas. Pretty much everything i find here was a surface find which i think is incredibly insane! I had no idea these minerals existed here so close to home. I would put time stamps but theres crystals in almost every clip, there was so much!!
    I hope you guys enjoy this video! 😊

    Very cool that you found all this in Easthampton! I live pretty close to there (about half an hour drive away) and might have to check this area out sometime.

    Omg!!!! Those are all awesome!!!! I'm from MA. & still currently live here. I find amazing stones every day, every hike & pretty much all over my area. If you don't mind me asking what part of MA did you find these in?

    Hi There. I just found your video. Are you at the lead mines in Holland/ Fiskdale Massachusetts? I ask because I’ve found lots of different types of garnets in Holland near the old lead mines? If not might I please ask what town you’re in here? I’m in Worcester

    • @DiscoveringMinerals
      @DiscoveringMinerals  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hiya!! No this lead mine is out in Easthampton! I see which lead mine you're talking about. Different types of garnets you say? I have found alot of garnets in the surrounding areas, such as in ware, and other towns, but mostly in rock, without any faces or great clarity lol.

      @@DiscoveringMinerals Yes near Sturbridge, Brimfield Fiskdale area. Exactly, Lots of Almandine and Grossular Garnets in some kind of matrix. Some of them are just incredible specimens. I have yet to find any that are perfectly formed or not included in some other mineral rock. I keep my hopes up though that one day I possibly will
