[@christopherjune9174]

[@JayDrone]

Awesome 💎 🦾

[@diggingappalachia954]

That place sketched me out, I had good luck back behind there in the other mine

[@JayDrone]

Nice

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

Hmmm 🤔....you should hear the screams we hear in the mountains of central Pennsylvania....the big hairy people are noisy.

[@philipcallicoat3147]

We have big hairy people who are in the Central CA Forest too....We hear them screaming all the time... Over here we call them,"Hippies"...

[@robegan9334]

I dig around here. Been about 20 times. Once you figure it out. You can easily find clears. Jay you need to take me to the pyrite! Call it a tour guide and charge me a few. I have found it but not in quantity. I've been all over PA. Kyanite. Eastonite. Various quartz locales.

[@Zack-ly7ck]

Would you mind showing me some time? I live about an hour from there and have always wanted to go hounding. I work in quarries and crystals absolutely fascinates me

[@JayDrone]

Got lucky 🍀 on that pyrite I think 💭 was just mined n dumped north east or the large pit just east of treskow

[@akaychi]

​@@JayDrone all of the "pyrite" cubes I've found there have already decomped into limonite. Someday I'll find a good one!

[@kndacrngebro]

Live about 25 mins from here but have no idea who to ask about permission. Any pointers to who I would be able to contact?

[@JayDrone]

Nope enter at your own risk it is posted

[@coalcrackerchris]

Nice.. Saw this place but didn't get to explore it yet. Intriguing!! Cool crystals! Any coal?

[@JayDrone]

Any coal lol 😂- The entire place is called

[@JayDrone]

Coal

[@JayDrone]

That is why those strip mines are there because that is what they’re going for is anth sight a.k.a. coal

[@MiMi-og4wx]

Hi Jay.. Is there easy access to the digging areas?? Could you show us some? I want to bring my 72 year old Mom along to check it out ..

[@JayDrone]

Don’t not safe for young or elderly

[@MiMi-og4wx]

@@JayDrone thanks for the advice.

[@tonywandishin4094]

That stuff is all over around here. Including coal. All over the ground

[@dannedifyoudo]

Hey, hows the echo these days? Heard there's more signs posted...

[@JayDrone]

Super posted

[@tmccarty244]

Is there anywhere to park to get into this? Looking to go soon. Also, do you need permission (are there no trespassing signs anywhere)??

[@robegan9334]

I could show you the ropes here. Parking on the side of the road is a No-go. Locals or whomever doesn't want folks in. I just park in town and walk in.

[@JayDrone]

Now there are plenty of no trespassing signs. People also report of people monitoring activity in there, and then telling them to leave and if they don’t that they will be cited. Just as somebody commented the safest place to park is public parking in one of the small nearby towns.

[@shawn1744]

Whats best crystal or find in PA. Im in Berks county. Grew up in Port Clinton.

[@JayDrone]

So Northeast part of Pennsylvania you have the crystal that I showed in this video which can be very structures generally always excited with a terminated point or tabby‘s have their own structure. We also have chlorite just as well as pyrite. Now as you go down south around Lebanon you can find amethyst Smokies Garnet. Go further down south you start finding I believe fluoride all the other minerals I’ve listed in a few others.

[@shawn1744]

@@JayDrone I'm not far from Lebanon but work in Reading. Live near Reading

[@galendonaldson3095]

@@shawn1744 go to the Cornwall iron furnace. Go passed the ball field, park at the game land gate, follow the trail back to the old tailings. Lots of different minerals to be found

[@lisalil]

Any idea where near perry county? Or maybe at least some cool fossils?

[@JayDrone]

Cool fossils can be found just just above Pottsville. I forget the town, but it is the spot the best spot to find Fern fossils I believe in the world.

[@lyleheiss7616]

Is this quarry posted or is it ok to go there?

[@JayDrone]

It is heavily posted - that’s a big thanks to all the out of stators who decide to flock to this area and leave trash everywhere mainly ones that had kids because that’s what the trash was juice boxes, happy meals, snack packs, etc. And instead of parking on public street, they parked all the way up and down the road parallel, so it was closer for them to walk to it

[@lyleheiss7616]

@@JayDrone that really sucks. Thank you.

[@kellyjones2109]

Where is the best place to park when going here?

[@JayDrone]

Parking is at your own discretion. Lots of rumors about state patrol patrol in the area. Your safest bet would be to go to one of the neighboring towns in Park on city streets where you are legally allowed to park and then hike back that way. I live so local I don’t have to park in and around anywhere I can mountain bike just as well as ride all-terrain vehicles to set locations.

[@SelectCircle]

Any snakes?

[@JayDrone]

I have not seen any, but absolutely we have snakes. About a mile or two from the spot I frequent just as well and I’ve seen large very large black snakes.

[@JayDrone]

We do have one or two venomous snakes in Pennsylvania I believe if you start smell cucumber or some bullshit get out from where you are it’s a sign of one of them
