I'm Mark I have dug for crystals,rocks,and,fossils in Utah, Georgia, Florida and Vermont,I love every minute of it.one downside though once you get hooked there's not a place I can go without looking for them
Found a whole bunch of these in Upstate New York near Lake George. Very easy spotting them because of the wonderful maroon garnets that look like cranberries dotting the surface. Love these guys! Where do you find your garnets?
