I took my 3 son's here once. They thought it was EASIER to smash the rocks that were piled up away from the wall that gets dug away once in awhile. I actually walked along the wall until I felt like digging in. In 20 minutes at the only spot I picked and found a pocket with about 20 different gems. People started surrounding me for some reason. People were saying how they've been there for 2 days and couldn't find anything. Same way if I go hiking to look for old bottles... I WILL find them. I had a close friend who would call to help find her glasses.. I said look on the shelf on the left side in the office. Or look next to the computer. Whenever she'd call though I would be 9 times out of ten tell right where they were. My sister had always said if you want to find something just ask my brother. Enjoyed the stay at Herkimer but finding them so easily sort of takes away from the hunt.
I completely understand!!! I have incredible luck with finding what I set out for! I often give away a lot to the people who aren't so lucky, it makes my day more than finding them!!!
