Jeff Swanger, owner of the OceanView Mine in California, shows you the best screening techniques to help ensure the best chances of you getting the most from your visit.
Thank you Jeff for the very informative demo. I don’t blame you for wanting to preserve the processing equipment that you provide and maintain! I’ll be making my first trip to experience your pile dig next weekend. Fingers crossed for finding a special piece!
I've seen people stay on the pile when the host was busy and pretty much took a lot crystals home,... the rest of the us didn't find crap until last hour. I don't mind the rules, and this is the better place than other two...
Spent good time out there but not $75 good. We had a feeling that truck loads of pile been pre screened good. We haven’t even find $5 worth of anything. At least for that money you guys should of planted some buckets of Amethyst, quartz or no gem quality tourmaline crystals in that pile. They have almost no value but people would of be happy to find some. I rather spend that $75 on ebay and get some nice crystals. We never go back.
Jeff, are you going to let the people know that the majority of the crystals that people find in this pile you purchased from Brazil and afghanistan? Not to mention the tourmaline crystals that you sell in your little shop that are from Afghanistan and you're selling as california?
I think he probably gets annoyed when people find a lot more than was the price of admission. Anyway screw that taking one small bucket of mud and going back and forth for more. The pile should just be dumped NEXT TO the washing tables and quit the nit picking. Really? even a wrong way to dump out the rocks???
😊 it's nice of you to think that way. But that's not how it happens. The majority of the material you find in that tailings pile is salted with material from Afghanistan and Brazil. Don't believe me? Give them a call and ask them. We got him to admit it and he said he was going to put it on his website
