i have found some garnets there that are about an inch in dia. ,sadly not gem quality but still nice to find. also got some wicked gem quality topaz there, could be what you have that looks like clear quartz.. you were close to another mine that has what they call cinniman garnets which i also found. keep searching and good luck

[@goldenoutdoors]

I would love to find some big garnets like that. Thanks for the info that place is a gem in itself for Auburn its really nice there.

I added a few rocks to the spiral when I was there a few months ago.

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

Bro I love mt apatite. The crystals there are beautiful. So much color!!

[@goldenoutdoors]

I enjoyed my time there. I really need to go back and put some time in digging

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

Lemme know I'll make a trip up. Was planning to get back before the winter hits

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

I go all over digging the north east basically every week I'm someplace collecting

[@richiesun9676]

Nice video work. Love the shots.

[@goldenoutdoors]

Thank you I appreciate it

[@keneastman5045]

Not much into gems but was interesting thanks for sharing bud

[@goldenoutdoors]

Gems can be just as fun. I think for me it's the thrill of the hunt. You never know what you might find

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

If I was there, I would have dug that hole deeper. Tried to see if there's anything different down there

[@goldenoutdoors]

This was a exploratory trip for me as I had never been. I’ll definitely go back and dig some more

[@dehuman8102]

The park requests that you don't dig more than 2' from the surface. It is a really neat place.

[@scotthenderson1842]

Looks like you had a good day in a great spot

[@brittneygrisolia2432]

Headed there tomorrow

[@goldenoutdoors]

Good luck 🍀

[@phild8095]

Been in the tailings piles. 11:23, , who can tell me what it is. It is a soft mineral, light brown, somewhat striated/verigated that takes a nice polish. It has a bit of chatoyancy, not a lot but it flashes a bit at odd angles. Please, what is that mineral. Hand shaped and polished it looks nice. Thank you.

[@goldenoutdoors]

Im actually not sure what it is. Maybe somebody on the dig maine gems page on fb might know.

[@phild8095]

@@goldenoutdoors Thanks. What are you doing monitoring email this time of day?

[@goldenoutdoors]

Lol, I work shift work so Im up at all hours

[@LaunchBawx]

I’m in southern Maine. Just starting to rock hound. Any advice?

[@goldenoutdoors]

@LaunchBawx Not really. Do some research online for place here in Maine to dig. There are quite a few good places and in NH as well. Depends what your looking for. For me its the thrill of finding something good, treasure hunting. We go to NY for herkimer diamonds every year. When you dig and dig and dig then finally find one its so exciting. Thats what I love about all these kind of hobbies. Good luck 🍀

Your purple in quartz is purple lepidolite.

[@bonblue4993]

It is pronounced "Mount A-pa-tight", not "Mount A-pa-teet".

[@beavischrist5]

Mount ape tit😅

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

Maybe if you dug deeper maybe you would find a trap you would find a Treasure trove of something

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Mount Apawhatnow?
