Join me and Caver461 for two days of rockhounding and crystal prospecting fun in the Bancroft area. We visit numerous sites including Titanite Hill, Miller Property, Schickler Occurrence and a few other spots including one with crystals as big as a football!!! If your into lapidary, crystals, gems and or rocks in general this video is for you and will show you some great locations in Southern Ontario for collecting.
Collect, rock hound, explore, dig and hike at your own risk.

Hi Jeff, good to see you out and amongst them again and your partner in crime,Mike. Firstly I must say that you Canadians must have big foot balls, up there in Ontario. The crystals in that small gorge are gigantic. Some of those pieces you dug out are really great looking crystals, great colour and shape. I hope you continue to find such great pieces, even if I am a tad jealous. Keep Safe & KeepnRockin
