      Doublenotminer Me too. If only the weather would cooperate. Gotta get out and get some minerals occasionally to add to the fun.

      Steve Crawford Crabtree is a good place to go, but it can be slow if you don't know how and where to look. I am a big fan of Buck Creek (and it's free). Surface collecting only but the corundum is not hard to find, but not usually gem quality.
      Thanks for tuning in!,
      Al

      Last I knew the MAGMA group controlled access to the area. wncrocks.com

    is this the mine or is just an off road to the mine. my wife and I have been planning on going but just haven't had the chance

      The mine is managed private property. You can book a visit through rick@wncrocks.com. It is not a tourist trap, just pay to access.
      Thanks for watching!

    glade you had fun.. even though everything you found is worthless

    • @ProspectorAl

      +Bill Lai Worthless is a relative term. What may be monetarily worthless I see as a specimen. So in that regards I found many decent specimens. Thanks for watching.

      Right. Who needs emeralds right? How do you think wealthy people end up wearing jewels? We (miners/collectors) find them and sell them (or just keep the really exotic stuff for ourselves) for a pretty decent profit or a better trade happens more than you would think. Most of us do it because we enjoy it and for those of us who have kids we can teach them what we know about geology and mining. That's pretty short-sighted of you to say that man. Maybe if you spent a day at this mine (and actually do some mining) you might actually enjoy it.

      Agree. This place looks like a complete waste of time.
