We didn't see any crystals with points but there was some kyanite I believe at the summit probably others also but from my understanding you can't collect from a state Park.
This is a great trail for kids. To get to the Mica Mine you have to cross the creek at the observation deck. If you follow the trail to the right when you get to the top of the stairs at the falls you can hike to the top of the falls.
The water was very refreshing! We bottled some for ourselves and some for family back home. I already wish we would have brought home more. We will definitely be making another stop here the next time we are in the area.
Wow, what a great collection of crystals, I bet it’s gonna be a hot one at Diamond hill this weekend… that was a huge chunk of amethyst too, I love seeing people doing good there
Yeah it's definitely gonna be a hot one! That lady broke out the smaller chunk and handed it to me and I was like nice then she turned around with that huge chunk! 🤩 She found that digging during the eclipse dig. There's definitely some good stuff at Diamond Hill for sure!
This was our third trip to the Emerald Hollow Mine and the first time we actually found crystals. We were very excited to come back to the spot where we had good luck but unfortunately they had chained the area off and had it posted Restricted area No Trespassing. It was very disappointing and we didn't have any luck finding crystals. It's a beautiful location though. Hope you have better luck than we did! Maybe we're not looking in the right place but we have only found crystals one time out of four trips.
@@ScottandLauren the best and easiest way is the sluice buckets. You don't have to dig get the ones already there. That's what I do. I typically walk out with LOTS of crystals and gemstones
1:19 that young man went to diamond hill for an hour after this dig & found a few of the nicest amethyst that I’ve ever seen.. he’s already a seasoned professional
Emerald Creek aka Salted Creek 😁....just saying . You can get the same kind of stuff in the purchased buckets . But to get stuff from the creek is fun but you're not gonna get any emeralds there . For the Serious rock hound you have to do your own digging in the designated area . And there you can find the hiddenite jewel if you ae lucky . And lots of crystals too, with a smattering of other sought after stuff . My brother and I had a blast getting stuff from the creek and also bought a $50 bucket each . Lots of fine stuff was in the bucket, ruby, quartz, etc. . We got our $50 dollars worth of rocks etc. from the buckets .
Yeah we have learned a few things since this visit for sure. We had zero luck finding any crystals in the digging area after digging there twice. Finally on our third attempt we hit some luck and found some small crystals! But you are absolutely correct about the creek. Thanks for watching!
Loved this video! I've lived around here my whole life and never saw the falls! Thank you for posting. I watch all your videos and recently started collecting from DHM. Y'all are wonderful!
Thank you so much! This is one of our favorite places to camp. We originally visited this place just for the falls, and while there, we found that it was a great camping spot, too! I'm glad to hear you've been able to check out DHM it's also a top spot for us to visit! Maybe we'll see you there sometime...be sure to come over and say hi!
Ray’s is definitely a cool spot, you had better luck than me, I’ve been there a couple times & haven’t found any aquamarine yet, those holes are definitely something to stay away from
We definitely felt very lucky to find what we did. It's like finding a needle in a hay stack for sure and yeah Id hate to fall down in one of those holes!
You guys would like the little pine garnet mine in Madison County. I've found garnets the size of a half dollar. You'll have to do some digging for the better ones. Nice adventure you had there
