About Diamond Hill Mine
Diamond Hill Mine sets visitors loose on 5 to 6 acres of dumps and spoil piles, challenging them to unearth the property's cache of quartz crystals and pieces of amethyst. During outings, explorers use their own rakes, shovels, and tools while excavating the land, or while trying to find un-dug veins, where some crystals have gone undisturbed for more than 400 million years. Every piece found on the property is authentic, meaning the mine hasn't been planted with artificial crystals or with forgotten hidden engagement rings.

The gentleman running it was sweet, but between being too far out for reception. You're out in the sun with nowhere to get any drinks. If you're not knowledgeable about gems, you feel like you're just playing in dirt and rocks.

Take extra water! Plenty of quartz and a bit of amethyst. Even found an aquamarine about as big as my thumbnail. Good luck!

It's a very good place when the weather is nice, but not so much when it's above 90.
